Plain water is so yesterday.
At least that’s the feeling I get whenever I see yet another infused water recipe floating around Pinterest. Even though I don’t mind the flavor of plain water {and weirdly prefer it!}, I’ve been wanting to try a winning infused water combination for ages!
This month’s habit gave me the perfect excuse to experiment, and while the flavor is light and refreshing, in all honesty, I’d rather stick to my tap. But for those struggling to meet their daily water goals, and frustrated by the bland nature of water, this infused raspberry lemon water recipe is a much healthier alternative than sugary lemonade or soda.
How to Make Infused Raspberry Lemon Water
Step 1: Place raspberries and lemon into a large mason jar or glass pitcher.
Step 2: Fill with water and let infuse for 1 hour.
Step 3: Take out lemons so they don’t make the water too bitter, and continue to infuse with raspberries overnight.
Step 4: Strain out the raspberries {you can use these later in a smoothie}, add ice if you prefer, then take a refreshing sip!
