How to Make Homemade Vitamin Water

1) Use distilled or purified water. You can use the pur filter on your tap, any other filtration system you may have or bottled water.

2 )Add in your favorite Add ons.  Here are some options.

You can stir in some dried or fresh herbs like mint, rosemary, chamomile or lavender. Use 2 tbsp / quart. Tie it in a thin muslin bag or put in a stainless steel tea ball or just drop it in. I like fresh herbs and leaves just soaking in my water.

You can add fresh fruit or vegetables like orange slices, lemon slices, peaches, berries, apple, pineapple, cucumber, celery, ginger etc. Be creative. Mix and match. Use about 1 -2 cups of fruit or vegetable / quart.  Put into a pitcher  and steep overnight in the fridge to let the flavors mingle and mix.

Herbs are a rich, whole food source of vitamins and minerals. Your body is able to most effectively recognize and absorb nutrients from food sources. We source fresh, dried herbs from Local Harvest. Choose one herb, like peppermint, or blend a few for a unique flavor. Have fun creating different flavors until you find the one that is just perfect for you.

Add 2-3 teaspoons of dried herbs per quart of water. Place your choice of fresh, dried herbs into a cotton muslin bag or stainless steel tea ball and place into the pitcher of pure, clean water.

You can mix and match herbs with fruit/ veggie slices if you like. Some of my favorite combos are :


Mint+ Cucumber + Green Apple

Lavender + Blueberries

Mixed berries + Mint

Pineapple + Mint + Ginger

Orange +Lemon + Tangerine slices + Ginger

 


3 ) Strain the liquid in the morning in a clear glass. Use a strainer if you want or just pour the water into a glass or bottle for delish all natural Vitamin and Mineral water. I like to have some fruit still floating in when I drink it.

4) If you feel like you can add a squirt of liquid vitamin ( available at health food stores) and or a tsp of powdered or liquid vitamin c. Add this only after you strain the liquid. Personally I just like the natural vitamins in the fruit and herbs. I do add some liquid Vitamin C in the winter or if I need an extra boost !


5) If you feel you need your vitamin water sweet add some natural sugar or honey. You can also add Agave Nectar or Stevia to make it diabetic friendly !

Add some ice cubes or seltzer water for spritzy vitamin drink that will have you drinking lots of fluid for the sheer pleasure of it !


3. Leave the pitcher in your refrigerator overnight. And Viola! Fresh, cold vitamin mineral water that sweetens your breath, reduces puffiness, contributes to the strength and beauty of your hair, skin and nails, and provides a whole food source of a dazzling array of vitamin and minerals. You won’t want to pay for fancy bottled waters again! We like to add ice, lemons, limes or cucumbers too, for a little extra zing. Your homemade vitamin mineral water will stay fresh and tasty for about 48 hours. So drink up!
