If you’re trying to cut down on drinking soda & other sugary drinks, flavored water will be really helpful in the process. Drinking plain water day after day can get boring though (can we all agree?!) and that’s when it’s easy to “fall off the wagon”.
Playing around with different flavors will not only keep things fun and interesting, but keep your tastebuds engaged and further away from the siren-calls of Dr. Pepper.
For all recipes, combine the ingredients in a large glass carafe or pitcher, cover and refrigerate for 12-24 hours.
And if you really want to JOOJ things up, you can use sparkling water instead of flat. Taste buds say what?!?!
