Fruit Infused Water

We all know how important it is to drink lots and lots of water to stay healthy, but some of us like myself get bored of drinking plain water all day. I wanted to jazz up my water but I didn’t want to use those powdered drink mixes such as Crystal Light because they contain a whole list of chemicals that I imagine can’t be good for the body. And so I discovered fruit infused water – natural and refreshing!  A friend of mine purchased a bottle like this one to infuse her favorite fruits in:

I didn’t want to buy a brand new bottle so I found out how to make infused water using mason jars – and this way I could make it in batches too! What you do is fill a mason jar with your favorite fruit (strawberry, blueberry, lemon, kiwi, peach, etc.), add mint leaves, fill up the jar with filtered water and store in the refrigerator until ready to drink.
