Water, Water, and More Water

When you're trying to avoid Pepsi and other carbonated beverages, and you don't like coffee or tea, plain water gets old after awhile. So I went looking on Pinterest and found two really great recipes posted by http://tonetiki.com/

Lemon Cucumber Water



Makes a Pitcher

1/2 Lemon thinly sliced

1/4 Cucumber thinly sliced

Ice

Water

In a large pitcher add the lemon and cucumber, then the ice and then water. Let sit in the fridge for a few minutes before serving. Once the water is down to only 1/4 full refill with water. You can do this several times, keep in the fridge.

The cucumber acts as an anti-inflammatory and the lemons boost immunity.


Apple Cinnamon Water


Makes one big pitcher, re-fill water 3-4 times before replacing apples and cinnamon

1 Apple thinly sliced

1 Cinnamon Stick

Drop apple slices in the bottom of the pitcher (save a few to drop in your glass later) and then the cinnamon stick, cover with ice about 1/2 way through then with water.

Place in the fridge for 10 minutes before serving.
