Making your water taste better

**Windex** · 03-30-2011, 10:04 AM

This trick is older than I am, but figured I'd post it anyways.

To make your water taste better without adding calories, sugar, or anything all you need to do is:

1) Fill an XL pitcher of cold water
2) Add ice cubes
3) Slice very thin your favorite fruit and add it to the water for flavor (some obvious exceptions - Ie don't add banana)

The fruit will add flavor (Don't eat the fruit) and barely any of the sugars will dissolve ( Less than 2g of carbs)

Enjoy !

Lemon and parsley overnight in the fridge.

I wondered about the crystal light thing. I mean since your just adding it to water but its all chemicals and perservatives and whatnot are you still able to count that towards your daily water intake? i kind of felt like i was cheating... no?

I must look into this stuff!

When down in dublin drinking the water tastes like shit (god dam crappy soft water)

But when I go back home to the countryside of kilkenny damn nice hard water tastes like the water of the gods

Thanx for the article. I have been seeing commercials for that and was very skeptical. Now I think I am gonna give it a taste. I need something other then the lemon or cucumber water.

Ok, how bad is this? I usually add a sugar free energy drink to my water. I dilute it a lot (about 3 ounces to a liter of water) and I am drinking a lot of water, but I never really drink pure water.
