Yo,

So the other week I bought a drink with chia in it. It was very nummy and I was thinking I could make something similar at home. I drink lots of lemon water, but was looking for something with a bit more punch to put my chia seeds in.

via WiseBread:
  • Salt
  • Ginger
  • Citrus
  • Herbs
  • Cucumber
  • Wine (Plum or umeshu)
  • Berries
  • Vinegar


I never thought of using herbs in water. Or ginger. I'm going to look at plum wine/umeshu as an option too. Cucumber water is popular here at cafes.

Do you drink any flavoured water like that above? Have your own not so secret so you can share recipe? Has anyone attempted making hibiscus water?

I mixed up a vinegar mix that is supposed to be good in water. But the problem is, it makes the water smell like a pool. I negated the smell with a touch of pomegranate juice, but the water wasn't really any better than normal water.

I grow a lot of rosemary, so that goes into water with some raspberries. I also like strawberry water, and mint too. Oooh, Basil is good with some orange.

Cucumber water is it. So refreshing. But for the water-bottle I carry around all day, I tend to add a pinch of whole oolong tea leaves. I also do ACV water for urinary tract health.
