As it gets hotter, it's tempting to drink more sweet beverages. We hope you have an opportunity to try Solixir, the functional, herb-containing beverage we profiled on our radio show last week.
Here are a few other ways to spice your water up a bit without adding unnecessary sugar or high-fructose corn syrup.
1. Mix a little bit of Hint Essence Water in with regular or mineral water. Just a little changes the flavor enough to remove the monotony.
2. Throw some mint leaves and cucumber slices in your water. I've learned, the longer it sits, the better it gets!
3. Freeze fruit juice in your ice cube trays and drop in your drink.
4. Freeze whole fruit or fruit chunks and do the same thing.
5. Try Sweet Leaf flavored stevia drops. inCYST intern Sarah Jones' favorite cooler is a few drops of vanilla creme in mineral water for an instant sugar-free cream soda.
