lazy-lazarus: its-a-wonderland-tea-party: Easy Fruit & Herb Flavored Water Ingredients fruit — 2 cups berries, citrus, melons, pineapple…most fruits will work (see recommended amounts in directions) herbs — a sprig of mint, basil, sage, rosemary, tarragon, thyme, or lavender water (tap or filtered) ice Directions Supplies needed: 2 quart pitcher or jar with lid; muddler or wooden spoonGeneral formula for whatever fruit/herb combo you desire.1. If using herbs, add a sprig of fresh herbs to jar/pitcher; press and twist with muddler or handle of wooden spoon to bruise leaves and release flavor; don’t pulverize the herbs into bits.2. Add approx. 2 cups of fruit to jar/pitcher; press and twist with muddler or handle of wooden spoon, just enough to release some of the juices3. Fill jar/pitcher with ice cubes.4. Add water to top of jar/pitcher.5. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.Suggested flavor combinations:ALL CITRUS (no herbs) — Slice 1 orange, 1 lime, 1 lemon into rounds, then cut the rounds in half. Add to jar and proceed with muddling, add ice & water.RASPBERRY LIME (no herbs) — Quarter 2 limes; with your hands, squeeze the juice into the jar, then throw in the squeezed lime quarters. Add 2 cups raspberries. Muddle, add ice & water.PINEAPPLE MINT — Add a sprig of mint to the jar (you can throw in the whole sprig; or, remove the leaves from the sprig, if you prefer to have the mint swimming around and distributing in the jar).

Add 2 cups blackberries; muddle, add ice & water.WATERMELON ROSEMARY — Add rosemary sprig to jar & muddle. Add 2 cups watermelon cubes; muddle, add ice and water.
