This year, we’re all about finding delicious, healthy ways to stay hydrated. While there are a myriad of hydration options out there, nothing is better than classic H2O for delivering minerals and nutrients to the body, as well as keeping the complexion clear. Infused water is a great way to maximize the flavor profile of nature’s healthiest yet plainest beverage - and you’ll reap the added nutritional benefits of whatever you add to your water! Infused water isn’t just healthy - the suspended fresh fruit, veggies, and herbs are very aesthetically pleasing and add a relaxing, spa-like quality to your home.
It’s never been easier or more convenient to prepare infused water to keep in the fridge or bring with you on the go. To prepare, simply slice up your preferred fruit and/or veg (it’s ok to keep small berries whole) and add to water with some fresh herbs or aromatics. You can infuse for up to two hours at room temperature, or longer in the refrigerator. Keep infused water in the fridge by preparing it in TOSSWARE’s new 32oz carafe for easy access. If you want to bring an infused water with you on the go, say, to yoga or pilates, prepare it in our new 16oz mason jar, pop a lid on and you’re set! If you’re looking for ideas on what flavors to combine in your sleek new TOSSWARE, then look to the recipes below.
Grapefruit + Rosemary
For an invigorating blend, slice rounds of grapefruit and add fresh rosemary to your 32oz carafe or 16oz mason jar. Rosemary is said to aid in digestion and cognitive function, while grapefruit contains immune-supporting vitamin C and heart-healthy potassium.
Blueberry + Lime + Mint
This triple threat of blueberry, lime, and mint delivers both refreshing flavor and nutrients to boot. Blueberry is an antioxidant powerhouse, lime brings vitamin C, while mint contains vitamin A.
Strawberry + Thyme
If you’re looking for a flavor that is more fruity than citrus-heavy, adding sliced strawberries and fresh thyme to your water is a delicious combination. Strawberries contain heart-healthy anthocyanin and have a low glycemic index, while thyme has vitamins C and A, as well as antibacterial properties.
Lemon + Mint
When it comes to infused water, lemon and mint are a classic invigorating combination found in spas around the world. And for good reason- not only do these flavors taste incredible, but lemon has a ton of benefits that include improving skin quality and aiding in digestion.
Let’s all raise a glass to healthy hydration. Happy infusing from us at TOSSWARE!
