Infused Sparkling Water

It’s hot out and you want something that’s refreshing like a soda, but without all of the sugar. If you want something with a homemade twist, make up some infused sparkling water. For this, you’ll need some means to carbonate water at home, but for those looking for a reason to get that likely forgotten Christmas gift out of the closet, this is as good a reason as any.

Simply take some fruit or other flavorings of your choice: we like lime and strawberry with just a few mint leaves and cut them up, putting them in water at least overnight. In the morning, strain out the fruits- a slotted spoon is excellent for this- and run the water through your carbonation device. The result is light, refreshing, and pretty healthy to boot.
