For water that’s not so blah, cut up your favorite fruit or berries and herbs, and let them diffuse into the water for some flavor. In the citrus water, I sliced oranges, lemon and lime. In the other carafe, there are raspberries, blackberries and mint leaves.

The result was very healthy tasting. I’m glad I added strawberries and may even add a drop of lemon next time to brighten…
