Want to keep it simple and start with infusing just one ingredient? We've listed the most worthy ones below. Feel free to use just one ingredient, or consider mixing two or three!

Lemon

Lemons are great for aiding digestion and are high in antioxidants. Some find that a glass of lemon water in the morning is a great way to wake the body up and start the day.

Mint Leaves

Mint leaves are known to assist with digestive health. Even more, mint's strong scent can improve energy and brain function. In contrast, you can drink mint water cold or hot.

Cucumber

Due to it's high amount of antioxidants, cucumbers can help lower blood pressure. They also offer a light flavor to your water.

Ginger

As many are aware, ginger is a powerful aid to nausea and digestion. Above all, ginger water can be made cold or hot.

• Fruit can stay in the water for up to 12 hours.
• You can prolong the life of your infused water by removing the fruit after 4-12 hours of infusing. Your detox water can last up to 3 days in the fridge once the fruit is removed.
• Refill your pitcher or bottle when it's half empty to preserve the infusion flavor. This prevents having to wait 1-2 hours for the water to infuse if it were to be refilled when empty.
• Make water infusion even easier by pre-making infused ice cubes. Freeze leftover fruits, vegetables, herbs, and water in an ice cube tray to add to your water at any time.
• Don't waste the fruit! Feel free to eat the fruit once you run out of water.
