Chapter 1 Did you know that the human body is composed of anywhere from 55% to 78% water depending on body type and size. Water is an essential nutrient involved in every chemical reaction within your body. Water helps protect vital organs, regulate and maintain body temperature, transports nutrients and oxygen, removes waste products; while keeping moist the eyes, nose, mouth, hair, skin, digestive tract, and joints (joints need water in order to remain strong and flexible). Lack of water can lead to dehydration and these harmful effects can cause migraines , muscle cramps, fatigue, kidney complications, irregular blood pressure, constipation, dry itchy skin, and even the Risk of death (20% dehydrated).

Chapter 2

Distilled / filtered / or purified water All of these recipes require up to half a gallon of water (2 quarts) depending on the amount of ice and fruits used. You can use drinkable tap water. Best if filtered or purified. 2 Quart Jars or large pitcher You can easily pick up some 2 quart jars with lids from Amazon or your local store. Glass is the best container as it allows the vitamins and flavors to come out fully without any interference. A sealed glass jar will help keep your water tasting fresh for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.

Wooden spoon Besides stirring, wooden spoon is used for lightly smashing fruit to help release the juice or muddle herbs to help release the flavor of the herbs. I recommend that you do not use plastic due to the impurities and BPA that can be contained in many plastic items. Fruit Fresh fruit is best if it is in season. If not, frozen fruit will work really well since fruit is generally frozen during its peak of ripeness. Fresh Vegetables There are only a small handful of vegetables that are useful for flavoring water. One of my favorite vegetables to use is cucumber.

Herbs Dried or fresh (often complement fruit flavors well). Mint is one of my favorite herbs to use but you can certainly use other herbs like sage, rosemary, basil, thyme, and lavender. Optional: Straining Device You may use a straining device that can be purchased to screw on top of your container so your water gets strained as you pour it.
Chapter 3

1. To infuse the flavor and vitamins from fruits and herbs, simply smash it down with the wooden spoon to help extract the juice out. 2. If you want to make it a little sweeter, you may add a small amount of sugar (still much healthier than any soda) or Stevia (powder or liquid form).

These sweeteners can be added to the individual glass of water or to the pitcher / jar. (I personally find that the fruit has its own faint sweetness and choose to pass on the additional sweeteners.) For the best taste, let the completed fruit water sit for at least 3 hours or refrigerate overnight. Most should retain their freshness and zesty taste for up to 3-4 days (with a lid attached) in the refrigerator. Use your own judgement.
