STRAWBERRY, MINT, LEMON WATER

SO AS YOU ALL KNOW BY NOW I'M A PINTEREST JUNKY...

With that being said I stumbled onto this "detox water recipe" and tweaked it a little to suit my tastes and decided to share it with y'all!

This recipe is simple and super tasty! 

Makes 2 Liters

• 1 lemon, thinly sliced
• 15 strawberries quartered
• 5 mint leaves
• 2 cups of ice
• Water

In a large pitcher, add the lemon and strawberries. Over the pitcher squeeze and slightly twist the mint, do not tear apart you only want to gently release the oils, add the mint leaves to the fruit. Top with ice and water. Let the pitcher sit in the fridge for 1 hour before serving.

When the water is down to 1/4 full in the pitcher, refill with water and place back in the fridge. You can do this several times. Store Strawberry, Mint, and Lemon Water in the fridge up to 24 hours.

DAY 1: 21DFX: 136LBS

LEMON AND BERRY ICE CUBES

     HERE IS ANOTHER YUMMY TWIST TO PLAIN WATER THAT WILL HAVE YOU AND YOUR KIDS WANTING TO DRINK MORE WATER AS WELL! THIS SIMPLE RECIPE WILL HAVE YOU  DRINKING MORE WATER IN A HURRY! REMEMBER YOUR TOTAL AMOUNT OF WATER  CONSUMPTION DAILY SHOULD BE EQUAL TO HALF YOUR BODY WEIGHT. 

     YOUR WEIGHT DIVIDED BY 2 IS THE NUMBER OF OUNCES YOUR BODY NEEDS DAILY!

Makes 30 Lemon and Berry Fruit Infused Ice Cubes.

Ingredients:

• 4 cups water
• 2 lemons
• 2 cups of frozen berry medley (strawberry, raspberry, blackberry and blueberry or your choice)
• 2 silicone ice cube trays

Get started:

Use a vegetable peeler to remove the rind of one lemon. Try to only get the bright yellow part and not the white. Bring lemon peel and water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Set aside to cool.

Slice the other lemon thinly into rings, then into 8 triangles like when cutting a pie.

Add berries and lemon triangles to the ice cube trays.  Get creative and artistic, arranging the fruit so that it’s most colorful on the outside. Fill the trays ¼ through, then place in the freezer for 1 hour. This will ensure that the fruit does not float to the top.

Remove the Lemon and Berry Fruit Infused Ice Cubes tray from the freezer and fill to the top with water. Place the tray back into the freezer until the cubes frozen all the way through. You can move the cubes to a freezer bag and start over if you are throwing a large party.

Store in the freezer until you are ready to use. The cubes will keep for up to 2 weeks.

MY NEW FAVORITE DRINK!

OK SO IT'S COLD OUTSIDE, THE WIND IS BLOWING SO HARD IT SOUNDS LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN IS MOWING DOWN MY HOUSE AND WE ARE EXPECTING SNOW! 

WITH THAT BEING SAID, YOU WOULD THINK I WOULD WANT SOMETHING WARM AND SOOTHING...WELL THE WATER FREAK IN ME SAYS NO, THEREFORE I HAVE LOOKED AND LOOKED FOR A NEW WATER RECIPE THAT WOULD GIVE ME A YUMMY CHANGE OF PACE ALL DAY! 

THIS IS WHAT I FOUND! COOLING PEACH AND MINT INFUSED WATER! OH MY, THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE DRINK!

Makes 1 pitcher of Cooling Peach and Mint Infused Water, refill up to 8 times.

Ingredients:

• 1 long sprig of Mint, or a handful of leaves you can tie together with kitchen twine
• 10 frozen Peach Slices, plus more to garnish (optional)
• Water and Ice

Get started:

Drop peaches in your pitcher, then the mint, top with ice and water and place in fridge for 4 hours or overnight. Serve in a wine glass*, garnish with a frozen peach slice (also acts as a ice cube) you can refill the pitcher up to 8 times, or until the flavor dissipates. I found that leaving the mint leaves on the sprig was easier and I got less debris in my drink that way too.
