How to make natural fruit water?

The fruit water s are not juices or smoothies, but flavored waters that will help you drink the two liters you need every day enjoying new flavors and nutrients with natural ingredients. Do you want to know how it is prepared?

Forget buying industrial bottled drinks that only contain flavorings and sugar without any nutritional value. We are talking about preparing your own water with homemade fruits and vegetables, very useful if you have trouble drinking the two liters of water a day recommended for an adult. Even if it has to marinate for several hours, it will only take a few minutes and then you will delight your palate while benefiting the health of your body.

What is natural fruit water for?

If there is one thing in this world, it is that there is nothing better to quench thirst than a good mixed fruit water. To survive, we must hydrate the body (we are composed of more than 70% water) and many times we are lazy to drink those two recommended liters. Therefore, by mixing new flavors of citrus, spices and vegetables, we will enjoy more, we will be able to drink what we have to drink and, as they are low-calorie drinks, we will lose weight. On the other hand, if you make it homemade, you control the ingredients that will be fruits, vegetables, spices, water and sweeteners. For example, there are many fruits that you can use and combine for your concoction: apple, lemon, orange, grapefruit, strawberries, raspberries, watermelon, pineapple, blueberries, blackberries, grapes, tamarind, etc. Likewise, there are vegetables and greens with great properties such as cucumber, celery or tomato.

To naturally flavor the drink, you can use spices such as cinnamon, cloves, pepper, or give it a spicy touch with grated ginger. Also add some refreshing herb such as mint, or aromatic such as lemon verbena, peppermint, tea, lemon balm or dill.

That is, there are a lot of natural products that you can incorporate into your preparation, with all kinds of variations depending on what you feel like at the time and your tastes. The only limit to savoring a good fruit water is in your imagination.

Remember that vegetables, vegetables and fruits must be cut into very thin slices so that the surface that comes into contact with the water is as large as possible and gives more flavor to your juice. On some occasions, you will need to let the mixture sit for up to 10 hours for the flavor to be optimal. Therefore, it is a good idea to prepare at night and leave it in the fridge until the next day.
