Infused Water Recipes And Other Cheap Summer Drinks


Are you looking to cool down in this hot summer weather and want something cheap and good to drink? Preferably, I would like something that does not involve a smiling drink pitcher character and a gazillion amounts of sugar! Plain water sounds meh to me right now and juice is really expensive. What to do. What to do. How about some infused water? What's infused water? Basically, it involves adding various fruits and vegetables to your water in pleasing combinations for either health benefits or just something tasty to drink. Here are some recipes I've run across around the "The Internets."

Cucumber and Mint Cooler
Strawberry and Mint Water
Pineapple and Mint Medley
Peach, Blueberry and Watermelon 

And ... due to the copious amounts of Toblerone and cookies I've eaten in the last three days, this is what I'm drinking today:

Fat Flush Water

Some other suggestions for cheap summer drinks:

1. Lemon Water
2. Herbal Sun Tea 
3. Watered down juice
4. Special Soda (this is grape juice mixed with cheap off brand lemon lime soda or Seltzer Water)

Now get out of the heat people and great some delicious liquid to drink!
