Trial Tuesdays - Fruit Water

I've been seeing a lot of pins for flavoring water with fruit and veggies lately. I've pinned quite a few but never tried any of them, so when we hosted our most recent OU watch party last weekend I decided to make a batch in my fancy drink dispenser.

To make this batch of fruit water, I used an entire container of very ripe strawberries (on sale for $.99), 3 medium sized lemons, and a few sprigs of mint.

First, I washed the strawberries, lemons, and mint thoroughly. Then, I sliced the lemons and strawberries and place everything in the bottom of a drink dispenser. Finally, I added water and ice and stirred it up. It wasn't extremely flavorful at first but the longer it sat the more the fruit diffused into the water and the better it tasted. I also found that when you get low, you can add more water to the fruit mixture and it still tastes delicious. Next time I would add a few more strawberries and more mint, but overall I was very pleased! Plus it looks pretty.

The flavor possibilities are endless. I'm thinking melon water could be delicious. Maybe apples? Raspberries? Oh and another bonus? It's healthy! Try it!
