I hate water!
So I posted two months ago that I just started a major lifestyle makeover when it comes to food and exercise. I lost 20 lbs so far! I was a BIG juice and soda drinker but since I started this two months ago all I've had to drink is water. I really hate water though. I've been buying organic lemons and adding them to the water and I really like but I'm getting bored and was wondering if anyone else adds fruit or anything else to their water.

Re: I hate water!
I do lots of fruit infused water.
Berry + Fresh Mint
Strawberry Orange
Citrus Blend (orange, lemon, grapefruit)
I want to try something with watermelon for the summer.
Lemon Rasberry
Look on pinterest, I'm always getting ideas there.
Remember you shouldn't keep the water more than a day or 2, so don't make too much at one time!

Re: I hate water!
I find seltzer very satisfying. I also love kombucha flavored with fruit. Here is the brand I drink:

I also like the Dr.Bragg's drinks:

I love seltzer, or sometime I will make unsweetened iced tea, with hibiscus tea, like red zinger or raspberry zinger. I just throw 3 tea bags into a pitcher of cold water and let it sit for a few hours.

Re: I hate water!
I love water, but I agree, it gets boring. I often top my water off with just a little fruit juice or lemonade.

Re: I hate water!
I make big pitchers of water and put cut up fruit, cucumbers, even herbs (love mint) in it, because I am not a big fan of plain. I like to do lemons and oranges together, Fresh berries are nice, too.
I also like seltzer with lemon or lime wedges. You could also drink seltzer with a tiny splash of juice (e.g., cranberry) to make a homemade and much healthier soda.
Another idea, as someone mentioned, is to make iced tea (unsweetened) and infuse different flavors into it. I just saw a big article on this in one of the women's magazines (maybe Good Housekeeping) on making iced tea concentrate (using black, green, or red zinger tea, depending on the recipe) - just brewing it in a pot and cooling it. You can then add cold water for regular iced tea, but there were tons of recipes to make interesting combos like apple tea or pineapple/thyme tea.
I think as long as you are not adding artificial ingredients or sweeteners to the tea, it's just as healthy (if not more! antioxidants) than plain water.

Re: I hate water!
I just bought the Aqua Zinger and Citrus Zinger. I haven't used them yet but they seem like a great way to infuse water with extra flavors.
