Apple & Cinnamon Splash

When the weather turns cooler, hydrating doesn’t come as naturally as during the warm-weather months. This recipe blends complementary flavors of apples and cinnamon that’s ready to enjoy from autumn to spring. Don’t love apples? Try pears or peeled oranges instead.

Instructions

Slice two apples into thin slices
Then combine the sliced apples with four cinnamon sticks in a pitcher
Add cold water to the apple slices and cinnamon
Infuse the water in your refrigerator for four to twenty-four hours, to your taste. More infusion time may be required since apples take longer to infuse
Stir well, strain and remove any solids
For a stronger infused flavor, let your infusion sit at room temperature for half an hour
Serve and enjoy! (For a bubbly twist: use sparkling water in step 3 and add more sparkling water to your infusion right before serving for fresh bubbles)

Cranberry Lime Holiday Cheer

You’re busy enough during the holidays, but it doesn’t take much time to make this festive red and green delight from ingredients you may already have on hand: cranberries and lime.

Instructions

Remove the pith and rind from your limes
Slice your limes into round slices, about ¼-inch thick
Take your fresh cranberries and poke holes in them with a fork or muddle/mash them to break the skin
Place all fruit in your container of choice: pitcher, large jar or jug
Fill container with cold water (still or spring)
Infuse the mix in the refrigerator for one to twelve hours, to your taste
Before serving, stir and strain to remove solids. Garnish with fresh cranberries, lime and sugar rim.
Pour for happy holidays! (For a bubbly twist: use sparkling water in step 5 and add more to your infusion right before serving for fresh bubbles)

Watermelon Summer Soiree

Pretty, pink and ready to refresh your summer, watermelon is a highly beneficial fruit that’s low in calories and high in flavor—like a little vacation in every glass. This cool, refreshing infusion can turn a dog day into a dream day while keeping you hydrated as well.

Instructions

Remove watermelon rind and cut watermelon into small squares. Add the squares to your container (smaller squares for small vessels and larger squares for pitchers and large jars or jugs)
Add water to your container and refrigerate for two to four hours, to your taste
Serve over ice in a tall glass with a few fresh small watermelon squares for some added flavor
Add mint as a garnish – for extra flavor, muddle the mint in the bottom of the glass, then add your infused water

Bonus tip: make flavor-filled ice cubes

Don't know what to do with your leftover ingredients? Experiment by adding chopped or thinly sliced leftovers to an ice tray for freezing. Flavored ice cubes offer a creative way to chill your drinks while adding subtle flavor and visual garnish when serving. If you want to add a modern look to your infused drinks, you can make clearer ice cubes by using boiled distilled water.
