These Flavour-Infused Water Drinks Will Make You Forget About Aerated Drinks

The best way to keep yourself cool and hydrated in this balmy weather is to have lots of fluids. Even after having countless glasses of water, the fickle mind in everyone will always run towards icy cold soda beverages. In an imaginary world, it would be wonderful to chug down one glass after another of our favourite soft drink without caring about our health, but, in the real world, we really do care! Infused water comes to the rescue of those who are bored of guzzling plain old water. These beverages are created by infusing flavoursome fruits, vegetables or herbs into water and let it stand for few hours; better still - overnight, till the water absorbs all the flavours and nutritious properties from the foods.
As the water cops out only the flavours of the foods and not the sugar content, this turns out to be a light-weight beverage, which is easy to digest and keeps calories in check. This is the perfect detox drink for summers as it not only hydrates but also flushes out toxins from the body. Another reason to love this form of water is that it is super simple to make and spurts out a fount of refreshing flavours in the mouth.
 

Pick a large glass jar and get down to making the below mentioned infused water recipes to beat the summer heat.

Watermelon Basil -
