Top 6 Hydrating Infused Water Recipes

As our bodies are around 60% water, the liquid is vital to our health. With this in mind, the NHS and other health organisations recommend that as adults, we drink between six to eight glasses of water a day, aiming to hit around two litres in total. (With more recommended if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, in a hot environment, physically active, or recovering from an illness.) However, a study completed by PureGym found that the average amount of water drunk per day was 726ml.

We cannot be sure why this might be, but one of our guesses would be people prefer something a little tastier. Our answer? Infusing your filtered water to make a tasty drink that will quench any thirst and keep you hydrated.

Here, Culligan ZeroWater share our top 6 delicious and hydrating infused water recipes that will turn your H2O to H2-Woah!

Find your favourite recipe and sip it all day long to ensure you are healthy, happy and hydrated.

Delicious Infused Water Recipes to Hydrate & Rejuvenate

These yummy infused water recipes are delicious and very Insta-worthy, while also being very hydrating. Some even work as a detox drink too!

1. Strawberry Flavoured Water

Our first infused water recipe is this strawberry-flavoured water.

This recipe is easy and doesn’t require many ingredients:

You will need:

• Quarter 4-6 strawberries, slice ½ a lemon.
• A small handful of basil, scrunched.
• Culligan ZeroWater filtered water.

Method:

1. Fill a jug with the fruit.
2. Add ice and filtered water from your Culligan Zerowater water filter jug.
3. Finish it off by scrunching the basil up and popping it on top.

Ideally, you should leave this sitting for an hour to let the flavours of the fruit seep into the water, but if you don’t have that time, you can cheat by putting holes in the fruit with a fork for a quicker result.

2. Watermelon Infused Water

Our second favourite infused water recipe was the watermelon-infused water.

For this you need:

• 2 slices of watermelon, cut into thirds or quarters.
• Small handful of basil, scrunched.
• Culligan ZeroWater filtered water.

Method:

This recipe is similar to the strawberry one. All you need to do is:

1. Throw the watermelon into a jug.
2. Add some filtered water and ice.
3. Finish it off with the scrunched basil.

Again, where possible, leave it to sit for an hour, but if you can’t do this, then use the fork trick.

3. Cucumber Water

Cucumber water is a luxurious and refreshing infused water recipe that is often underrated. Be sure to leave the cucumber skin on so you don't miss out on a tonne of vitamins!

For this, you will need:

• ½ cucumber.
• ½ lemon thinly sliced.
• ½ lime thinly sliced.
• 2 sprigs mint.
• Ice.
• Two litres of Culligan ZeroWater filtered water.

Method:

1. Thinly slice cucumber either lengthwise or across.
2. Place cucumbers, lemon slices, lime slices and mint in a 2qt container.
3. Add a few cups of ice and top with water.
4. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.

This will last 2 days in the fridge, so you can continue to top it with water as you consume it.

Fun fact: Cucumber water is super hydrating and helps clear breakouts. Drinking it regularly will leave you with summer-ready skin that glows!

4. Strawberry, Pineapple, Basil Water

Who needs to go to a spa when you can de-stress in the comfort of your kitchen? This infused water recipe that uses a trio of strawberry, basil and pineapple is the perfect combination for at-home stress relief.

You will need:

• 6 cups cubed fresh pineapple.
• 1 cup whole strawberries.
• 1 cup cucumber slices.
• 8 leaves fresh basil.
• One litre of Culligan ZeroWater filtered water.
• 2 cups of fresh ice.

Method:

1. Pour your filtered water into four cups.
2. Stem and quarter the strawberries. Divide the strawberries, cucumber, and fresh basil between the four glasses.
3. Add ice to the glasses and press the fruit and basil a bit with a spoon to release the flavours, or shake in a mason jar.
4. Serve immediately, enjoy!

5. Apple & Cinnamon Infused Water

People say you should drink Apple Cider Vinegar to shed off the extra holiday weight we all inevitably gain, but this apple and cinnamon-infused water recipe tastes much better and still works!

You will need:

• Two litres of Culligan ZeroWater filtered water.
• 1 apple, sliced thinly.
• 3-4 cinnamon sticks.

Method:

1. Place all ingredients in a pitcher.
2. Let sit for 30min-1hr.
3. Serve and enjoy.

6. Pear, Raspberry, Rosemary Infused Water

Our final infused water recipe is a great detox water, and it tastes delicious, which is always a bonus for a detox drink!

You will need:

• 1/2 pear.
• 1 handful of raspberries.
• 2 sprigs of rosemary.
• One litre of Culligan ZeroWater filtered water.

Method:

1. Cut the pear into long slices and then cut these in half.
2. Put them on the fruit skewer and add the raspberries, too.
3. Fill up your pitcher with your filtered water and add the rosemary sprigs.
4. Let it rest overnight, and then transfer it into your water bottle in the morning for some freshness on the go.
