Thanks for this! I am going to make the infused water tonight!
ReplyDeleteYay! Let me know what fruits you use!
DeleteTo add to the infused water: I have heard of (but never tried) making ice cubes with fruit in them. As the ice melts, you get a burst of fruit flavor to your water! I'm a sucker for drinks & love that they use stevia as a sweetener!
ReplyDeleteThe ice idea is great! I've heard about it for wedding showers, baby showers and such (raspberries and blueberries especially). Funny you say that about the stevia. I actually changed the recipes myself to include stevia instead of sugar. The Tone It Up ladies that I follow are all about stevia being better for you - so I tried to make the recipes a little bit healthier ;o)
