Filled with lemons, limes and orange slices, Citrus Flavored Water is a delicious way to serve a refreshing glass of water. Infused water recipes not only help you drink eight glasses of water every day, but they also dress up a plain glass of water.
Which is great when serving a simple beverage to family and friends.
This recipe for Citrus Flavored Water couldn't be any easier. It's simply a pitcher of water filled with sliced lemons, limes and oranges. Oh and don't forget plenty of ice!
Non-alcoholic drinks are the perfect drink to keep on hand for the family. They also help your family stay away from sugary fruit punch drinks or even vitamin water drinks.
For this recipe, I chose to use an infusion pitcher which is a great way to keep fruit-infused drinks fresh. The pitcher easily stores in the refrigerator to keep the water cold and ready for when you need a cool refreshing drink.
