If you’ve ever added a slice of lemon or lime to a glass of water, then you know what infused water is all about! Allowing fruits, vegetables, and herbs to “marinate” overnight in some water allows all the flavor, with virtually none of the carbs or calories, to seep out, turning your plain old glass of water into something truly special.
Some combo’s taste better than others, however. That’s why we have made a list with some of the most satisfying flavor combinations you could imagine.
Although you can make these in the morning, infused water works best when allowed to sit overnight. Make your favorites before bed and everything will be ready the next day.
Keep reading and get out your pitcher! In fact, get out several!
