While I love my iced tea, once I drink what I bring to work, it's gone. With the infusion, the flavor keeps on giving. I even keep refilling it once I am home and even during dinner. Sometimes I drink it in place of iced tea.
Once I'm done with it at the end of the day, I give the solids to the pup. If I have grapes, those get plucked out. Every so often I forget about the tea bag, so she just drops it on the floor outside of her dish. Apparently, there are some things she won't eat!
The water really does pull a lot of flavor from the fruits/veggies. I don't know that there are really any nutritional benefits. Lots of folks do this as a detox/cleansing drink. For me, it's just for the flavor and to quench my thirst. It is yummy!
I've had water with lemon and cucumbers, but not such a variety as yours. Sounds good, and it must be good for you to some extent.
ReplyDeleteI always thought that cucumbers were it for water, but am glad I expanded my horizons!
DeleteI'm starting to think that you have missed your calling in life, and that you should have been a tea sommelier. Perhaps you should open up some sort of a juice bar... only not for juice, but exotic teas and infused water. Never in a million years would those sorts of concoctions occur to me. I'm generally lucky if I can manage to remember to turn the filter on when I get a glass of water! :-)
ReplyDeleteI work with whatever fruit and veggies are cheap -- no real artistry there! When TBG and I retire and have our "Bike and Breakfast," I'll get to serve other my concoctions there!
DeleteI do the same, but use vodka.
ReplyDeleteI always feel you're stewed...
