Spa Fruit Infused Detox Water by Modern Honey l www.modernhoney.com The weather app on my phone is telling me that it is going to be 118 degrees in Arizona on Saturday (insert crying emoji here).

Since Arizona heat makes you feel as if you are getting tossed around in a heated dryer, we have to find ways to not only cool off but keep hydrated during the summer months. I have just the solution!

We all know that drinking water is the best thing for our bodies but since 95% of my friends are addicted to Diet Coke, plain water isn’t that appealing to them.

When we were in San Francisco last summer, we stumbled upon a massive clearance sale at Sur La Table. We found the cutest Glass Mason Jar Beverage dispenser and I convinced my husband that we could fit it, as well as all of my kitchen finds, into our Yukon. Thank heavens I married a good one!

In an effort to get my kids to drink more water and less soda, I filled the Glass Mason Jar dispenser with ice cold water and added fruit to the water. We experimented with different fruit fusions every 2 days. My kids drank more water than they ever had before and loved experimenting with unique combinations. They weren’t even begging for soda and were happily drinking water without me reminding them. The Spa Fruit Infused Detox water was a hit!

What makes water so good for you?

Water is the ultimate purifier, replenisher, and hydrator for all organs in our bodies. It aids in all functions of our body and helps to flush out toxins.

It is recommended to drink at least 8 glasses of water which equals 64 ounces every single day!

Adding fresh fruits and herbs adds minerals and vitamins to water and increases the nutritional benefits. It also makes it taste refreshing, slightly sweet, and delicious!

  1. I tried the cucumber and lemon and it had a really bitter aftertaste after one day. Is there anything I can do about this?

  2. 5 stars
    I love the taste of infused water, and that there is a lot less sugar than just drinking fruit juice. My husband isnโ€™t much for drinking plain water, but if it is infused with cucumber or berries โ€“ he is all about it. Great information and suggestions, thanks for sharing!
