I have seen all the posts on FaceBook and Pinterest for "infused" water, etc. Lemon was the most frequently mentioned. A couple weeks ago, I decided to give it a try. Anything is better than plain water...right? Maybe Not. Well, I didn't have any lemons handy...so I tried using my "lemon juice concentrate" . Ummm, yeah, not gonna do that again. So it has pretty much been plain water for 2 months. Until now! Remember my friend Ms. Kim, that has been helping me in my Cooking Adventures? Well, she has actually been helping me throughout every aspect of my entire QUEST. Yesterday, she & her awesome kids stopped by bearing gifts. The main gift was a 'Water Infusion" bottle that she had found at Walmart and purchased for me. It is similar to this one: Cool Gear 28oz Infusion Water Bottle. She also had a lemon & some limes for me (real ones-not concentrate hee hee). She recommended I try a Lemon/Lime/ Cucumber Infusion to start. Luckily, I have cucumbers on hand for all my salads. Today, I chopped up the lemon, limes and cucumber and put them in the infuser. Now it is sitting in my fridge doing it's thing. Not sure what the process is officially called...maybe just "infusing". Can't wait to give it a try!
Ingredients:
1 Lemon
2 Limes
1/2 Cucumber
Water
Directions:
This is NOT an exact recipe. I just chopped up the lemon, lime & cucumber into small pieces. This should make enough for several rounds of infusions. I put as much of each that would fit into the infuser. Since it is my first time, it is trial & error. Once I taste it, I will have a better idea of how much of each I want to put in for my personal preference.
