Ideas to Flavor Water

It is already so hot that I had to figure out a way to spice up plain old water....I saw some of these ideas online and then made a few alterations to them to make my own and to use things I had in my garden.

Strawberry Basil Water
1 pint of fresh strawberries sliced
15 basil leaves (wash them first if they are coming out of your garden)
1 packet of crystal light lemonade (saves on calories)

In a large pitcher place the basil, strawberries and crystal light and then add water to fill the pitcher then stir with a spoon and let it sit in the fridge for a couple of hours to let all the flavors come together.

Enjoy!!!!

Mint Lemon Water
about 15 to 20 mint leaves (washed)
2 lemons sliced 1/4 inch thick

In a large pitcher put the mint and lemon slices and fill with water and then put in the fridge a couple of hours.

Enjoy!!!!
