Does anyone add stuffs to flavour their drinking water or has any tips for doing so like adding lemon to plain water to give it a slight lemony flavour? I wish to find out about ways to flavour my water to make it more interesting instead of the plain drinking water.

I'm a sugar junky, and I love the powdered lemonade drinks. My guy is a purist and adds lemon juice to his plain water, adds liquid Stevia, and makes himself 'gourmet' lemonade. :) There are tons of mixes (some lo-cal, some high caffeine) that you can add to your water to make it more interesting. I'm all for adding flavorings to things, if it helps you get the water/nutrients you need!

If you drink bottled water and hate water like I do, there are now little packets of flavoring to add to the bottle of water made by several of the drink companies that flavor the water, Crystal Light is one, I enjoy addign this to my water t gives it a pleasant taste that doesn't taste like water at all, Water has no taste to me, so why drink it I get nothing our of it by taste, this gives it a flavor so that I can stand to drink it, you should try one of the flavors ,I like Rasberry best, but they say the lemon aide is good too.

Nah, I don't drink bottled water unless I have no choice as I do not like the taste of it and prefer tap water better. Adding those packets of flavouring is nice but I would like to experiment with daily household ingredients.

Adding flavor makes it more interesting but FYI adding plain lemon or lime is adding free health because they work as flushing agents in the kidneys and liver without adding calories.

At times powdered juice are added, but most of the time, I like my consuming water to be fresh and plain :D

Hi There, There are actually fruit flavoured water products that are in the grocery stores now. They are actually quite good. If you do not want to go that way and pay for the water, the best way to do it is to add fruit to the water. You are right that lemon is a really good one. It also has the benefit of speeding up your metabolism and giving you some vitamins! cheers,

You can add one spoon full of cummin seeds or coriander seeds or a piece of dried jinger or one or two elachi to one litre of water and boil the water. Make it cool and drink. We usually use any one of the above to add flavour to drinking water
