Infused H2O + Agua Fresca

They call it the "magic potion" for weight loss.

Dermatologists say its the best kept secret for great skin.

Can u guess? yup! good old fashioned H20. Drink up the 8 glasses guys and dolls.

For me water is way bland straight up, so I jazz it up a bit to make it more palpable. It almost feels spa like and luxurious this way, and so beautiful in tall glass pitchers. It's pretty simple, add your favorite, citrus, fruit or herbs to a tall pitcher of water 2 hours prior to serving . Voila! infused water.
Lemon, Strawberry and Cucumber
some beautiful and delicious combinations are:
orange/lemon/lime/grapefruit
cucumber/mint
strawberry/mint
pineapple/mint
watermelon/basil
strawberry/lemon
lemon/lime
blackberry/raspberry
