Struggling to get your 8 glasses of water a day? Feel like fancying up your H2O?
Infusing water with fruit (or veg) is a great way to get plenty of fluids, make it tastier and also get some extra vitamins! All that and without the downside of excess calories, sugars, and artificial flavourings (what’s not to love?).
You’re going to need an infused water bottle, as having the infusing chamber helps to stop the fruit going everywhere and filters out the broken down fruit.

1/2 of a lemon
1/2 of a lime
Method
- Remove skin from lemons & limes (this makes them bitter), then cut into small chunks
- Place into infusing chamber & fill bottle with water
- Leave overnight in the fridge (or for 24 hours to increase strength)
- Enjoy!

The sweet raspberry goes perfectly with the tangy lemon to make this combo delightfully drinkable. As well as getting the digestive benefits we mentioned earlier from the lemon, the raspberries also offer anti-inflammatory properties to this drink!

Quick Tip: One fruit to steer clear of trying to infuse is kiwi, as this takes a long time to get any flavour from and is generally a bit of a mess.
