Have you ever met someone who doesn't like water? Or maybe you are that person. I have met a lot of people who don't like drinking plain water. They either have to add some type of flavoring like a sports drink powder or they skip drinking it all together. I know people that drink soda all day long because they don't like water.
I'm sure most health conscious individuals who dislike water would like to drink more of it if they knew some cool ways of flavoring it naturally.
Flavoring Your Water
There are some cool things to add to water to give it some flavor and make it tastier to drink. One of my favorites is adding cantaloupe or honeydew melon slices to a container of water and letting it get ice cold. It is really refreshing to drink.
Here are some other ideas for flavoring water. Simply start with a container of water and add in your choice of:
- Citrus fruit slices (oranges, lemons)
- Berries (blueberries, strawberries, etc.)
- Mint
- Ginger
- Cucumber slices
ADVERTISEMENTS
If you use any type of fruit, be sure to slice them so they can flavor the water and if you use herbs such as mint, crush them to release their flavor.
These are great ways to flavor water without artificial flavors and sweeteners. Do you have a cool recipe? Share in the comments.

I’ve gotten into the habit of dropping 6 green tea bags (string and tag removed) into my gallon jug before I fill it at night with fresh spring water from my tap…the n I run out to my basil plants and snip a handful or so of leaves, run back in and stuff them into the jug before replacing the cover…I put it in the fridge, and take it with me to work the next day. I read somewhere that basil acts as a nerve tonic, and that’s great- but I really have gotten to love the fresh essence of this concoction! I’ve even pored it over ice with sparkling water as a “cocktail”!
Cucumber? How does that taste? Seems like a bit of an odd one to me.
Great post! Thanks for being one of the only instructables out there that didn’t also add chemicals and other products to this simple hack. I’ll be linking to you in an article I’m publishing soon!
And I’ll be one to testify as to the greatness of cucumber in water. YUM!
