I tried out many different infusions but these 5 are my favorite and I’m sharing recipes and benefits of drinking for each of them.

For start let’s cover basics:

For best results use purified or boiled and cooled water.
Always use fresh, organic ingredients.
In a pitcher add fruit, top with ice until 2/3 are full and fill with water.
Allow fruit and herbs to infuse at least 3 hours in fridge or on counter top if you don’t like cold drinks.
After pouring in glass, refill with water up to 3-4 times.
Make fresh water everyday.
