Make Your Own Vitamin Water

Have you ever considered making your own vitamin water?  Store-bought vitamin water can be expensive and often contains added sugars and artificial flavours. By making your own vitamin water, you can control the ingredients and tailor the flavor to your liking.

To make your own vitamin water, start with a base of filtered water or sparkling water. You can add sliced fruits, vegetables, and herbs to infuse the water with vitamins and minerals. 

Here are some ideas for ingredients you can use:
  • Citrus fruits like lemons, limes, and oranges are high in vitamin C, which can boost your immune system and support skin health.
  • Berries like strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries are rich in antioxidants, which can help protect your cells from damage.
  • Cucumbers are a good source of vitamin K and can help hydrate your body.
  • Mint and basil add a refreshing flavor and may have anti-inflammatory properties.
  • To infuse the water with the ingredients, simply add them to a pitcher or bottle of water and let it sit in the fridge for a few hours or overnight. You can strain out the ingredients before drinking or leave them in for added flavor.
  • If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can add a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup. You can also experiment with different flavor combinations to find your favorite. Making your own vitamin water is a simple and affordable way to stay hydrated and boost your nutrient intake.

Methods:

Creating your own vitamin water is a refreshing and healthy way to stay hydrated. With just a few simple steps, you can customize your water with the vitamins and minerals you need.

  • Start by choosing your favourite fruits and cutting them into small pieces. You can use any fruits you like, such as strawberries, lemons, or watermelon.
  • Next, tear some mint or basil leaves, or add a sprig of rosemary. These herbs can add a fresh and delicious flavor to your vitamin water.
  • Add a pinch of natural sea salt for its mineral content. This can also help enhance the flavor of the water.
  • Put all the ingredients into a mason jar.
  • To release the vitamins and enzymes from the fruit, use the food pusher from your juicer to gently crush the fruit.
  • Add pure drinking water to the mason jar, leaving some room at the top.
  • Close the lid of the jar lightly and refrigerate it overnight. This will allow the flavors to infuse and create delicious and refreshing vitamin water.
  • Drink your homemade vitamin water within 4 hours for the best taste and nutritional benefits.

Creating your own vitamin water is a simple and fun way to stay hydrated and support your overall health. You can experiment with different fruits, herbs, and spices to create your own unique blends that suit your taste and needs.
