In an effort to encourage drinking more water, we bought a large Britta and have started creating a water-flavor-of-the-week.
We started with a citrus blend: orange, lime, lemon. This was a huge hit and we all increased our water intake last week. Water for dinner is boring, but this made it seem like we were having something fancy with our meal. I had to add water to the Britta quite often during the week, so I know it was being consumed quickly between meals as well.
This week we went with watermelon and mint. Another hit in my book, but not everyone is a fan of watermelon in my house. (I know- how do you not like watermelon?!) This doesn't look appetizing, but it is delicious.
The only dilemma is in order to give the water flavor, I slightly crush whatever I'm adding. When we dispense the water, it pulls the food toward the dispenser and clogs it a bit. It wasn't an issue with the citrus, but has been with the watermelon. Next week I want to try raspberry/lemon and I know those raspberry seeds are going to be a problem. I'm wondering if I can find some kind of mesh to put fruit in and just float that in the water. Any ideas?
Also- I'm anxious to hear any good recipe suggestions.
Cheers!
