Infused Water: A Healthy and Refreshing Summer Drink



I love to cook and incorporate what we grow in the garden into our meals.  Lately I have been inspired to make Infused Water meaning water that has been infused with fruit, flowers, or herbs for a flavor and health boost.  The kids really enjoy helping to make these waters and have even been inspired to create a few recipes of their own.  
While infused water is new to us it is not a new concept.  In fact infused water has been around for many centuries as is evident


Now, centuries later Aromatic waters are making a resurgence.  They are easy to make and rewarding to our health.  Have fun experimenting with different fruits.  The following is the recipe we have been enjoying. 

 
1000ml/1 litre Mason Jar

4-6 organic sliced strawberries
2 sprigs of organic Lemon Thyme
1/2 organic lemon sliced thinly
Pure water

Add the above ingredients into a 1 liter mason jar.  Fill the mason jar with water and seal with a lid.  Let the jar sit overnight or for 4 hours to let the flavors infuse.
You can drink the water right from the jar with the infused fruit still in the jar or strain the water into a glass then add a fresh slice of lemon.

Enjoy your Infused Water!
