Bottoms Up!

 
Surprise your taste buds with a fun and different way to re-hydrate in these hot August days. By adding natural flavors to your water, staying hydrated won't be such a chore!
  • Citrus-rosemary water: use lime slices, strips of orange zest, and gently crushed rosemary sprigs.
  • Ginger-cucumber water: use sliced ginger, cucumber ribbons, and mint sprigs.
  • Grapefruit: squeeze half a grapefruit into your pitcher.
  • Water "Sangria": toss in a mixture of cut-up citrus, berries, and apple.
 Steep ingredients in water, and refrigerate for an hour.

*Jazz up your water, iced team or lemonade! Drop combinations of fresh berries, mint leaves, ginger bits, and strips of citrus zest into empty ice cube trays. Add water to trays, and freeze.
*Use frozen berries for "ice cubes" to impart a subtle flavor while they cool your drink.
*Use fruit flavored Twizzlers in lieu of straws for a greener choice. They're edible so there's less waste! (These are great for kid's parties too!)
