Does water sometimes taste a little too bland for you? You can confidently take the current water trend of “water with taste ” with you into the fall and winter. Infused water gives you as much creativity and flavor as you want. It is also very easy to give the water a taste and health boost. Herbs, spices, plants, pieces of vegetables or fruit are simply added to the water to “infuse” it.more than a slice of lemon in a glass of water

Who hasn’t seen the slice of lemon that often smiles at us in a glass of water or in carbonated soft drinks in restaurants? It is decorative, brings a delicate hint of fresh citrus fruit flavor and also helps to clear the conscience, because fruit is known to be healthy. But infused water goes far beyond the single slice of lemon. Different slices or pieces of fruit and vegetables are placed in the jug filled with water or the glass bottle with a wide neck.

There are now infused water bottles or jugs with a special insert. A glass teapot with an insert is also ideal for this. As the pieces of fruit and vegetables soak in the water, some of the flavor is released into the water. Not only fruit and vegetables can be placed in the water, whole herbs, pieces of spices or other plant parts are also great for flavored water.

Drinking water with a healthy plus

Drinking water is healthy. Drinking “infused” water is even healthier. The reason is quite simple. People often drink more water if it tastes good. This provides the body with sufficient water. The taste also makes you want more. Don’t forget to drink water. In addition, a certain amount of water-soluble vitamins, minerals and secondary plant substances from the natural plant ingredients are transferred to the infused water.

It may not be a large amount, but it is still a small plus. Another plus point: the drink is virtually calorie-free and contains no added sugar. Infused water is therefore also suitable for anyone who wants to keep an eye on their figure. It is also very attractive for children as it tastes more delicious than pure water and is partly colored by plant substances. It also invites experimentation, which awakens the spirit of research in the kitchen. At the same time, it does not provide any empty calories, like the frequently loved soft drinks, and does not put any additional strain on tooth enamel.

Start the fall and winter season infused

Anyone who thinks infused water is just a refreshing drink in hot temperatures is mistaken. The flavored water provides welcome refreshment at any time of year, which is good for your health. It is best to use plant-based foods from certified organic cultivation for infused water. Citrus fruits, such as oranges, mandarins, lemons and limes, are particularly suitable for the
fall and winter months
. Well washed, they can be sliced with the skin on. As there is a very high proportion of active ingredients under the skin, organic fruit and vegetables can go into the water jug unpeeled. If you love color in the dark season, you can add a few carrot slices to the water.

The carotene it contains spreads quickly in the water. Combined with thin apple slices, the result is a wonderful taste experience. The fruit and vegetables can then be eaten or made into smoothies. Infused water should always be drunk fresh. Ideally within a few hours of production. Ginger root is particularly suitable when it is fresh outside. Sliced, their warming flavor develops very quickly, even in cold water. It also helps to ward off colds.
