Water Can Taste Good!!




Check out these recipes from Farmacology Organics, I have always loved the Classical, but am really intrigued by the Watermelon.  You do need to mix these in a glass pitcher for best results, plastic takes something away, for whatever reason.  NOTE: All recipes start with 10 cups of water and should be left in the refrigerator overnight before serving. Now, put down that soda, hydrate yourself and enjoy!!
 
1) The Classical : Lemon/Cucumber:
1 cucumber and a lemon, thinly sliced + 1/4 cup fresh finely chopped basil leaf + 1/3 of finely chopped fresh mint leaves.

2) The Granite : Strawberry/Lime or Raspberry/Lime
6 strawberries / 0r Raspberries and one thinly sliced lime + 12 finely chopped fresh mint leaves.

3) The Digestive : Fennel/Citrus
First: infuse 1 to 3 grams of dried and crushed fennel in 150 ml of boiling water for 5-10 minutes. Allow to cool.
1 lemon,  juice and put the leftover lemon in the mix) + a small thinly sliced orange + 12 fresh chopped mint leaves + the infusion of fennel seeds.

4) The Antiox : Blackberry/Sage
Note that apart from the berries, sage leaves are the herb that has the highest antioxidant content.
1 cup of blackberries that have been very slightly crushed + 3-4 sage leaves.

6) The Exotic : Pineapple/Mint
