Infused waters are one of my favorite warm weather beverages. These fancy waters are perfect for parties or just a special treat to yourself! You can make a pitcher for a group of friends or single servings, like these. This summer I tried out lots of different flavor combinations. Here are a few favorites...
Lemon and Cucumber Water. This combination is super refreshing and tart!
Strawberry and Basil Water.This recipe a unique and so pretty! I recommend starting out with fewer basil leaves and adding more until it's perfect for you!
Mint Water. My personal favorite! I love all things mint. Frozen raspberries are also wonderful with mint.Try it!
I hope that you enjoy some pretty fancy water! xo, elsie
Gorgeous! I was sold over and over again with each recipe idea. Can't wait to try!

I like to combine mint and cucumber for the alternate "spa water" (that's what I call it anyway...) And I completely agree - so refreshing in the summer months!

I'll have to try these;I usually go for the "artifically flavored" ones like Crystal Light,just because they're cheaper but I might give these a shot,thanks for sharing! :)

Mmm raspberry mint!

thanks for your comment on my blog - it really made my day. (:
those sound delicious. i've never tried infused water, but it sounds (and looks) so good - and it would be a welcome change (usually, i only drink tap water). (: i just have one question: do you just put the ingredients in the water and that's it? or do you press them slightly or leave them in the water for a long time? sorry if this is a strange question!

They look yummy! I am so jealous you are in the US. Yesterday I made butternut squash and barley stew, just to give you an idea of the weather difference.
One week today! You must be so excited!

I love mint water! I must go and steal some from my Dad's herb garden today!
I love the straws as well- so bright against the green of the herbs.
