I have not been a fan of drinking regular water and faced a few medical problems too, then I searched a bit and about flavoring your water with fruits and herbs. This was the best thing I could find. Now I flavor my water with mint leaves and a slice of lemon, leave it for few hours, water never tasted better to me LOL What about you? Have you faced the issue? Or are you already having flavored water?

I do force me to drink water and I prefer plain water. I don't drink juices or add any favours in water.

@vsai2008 I will try but mint leaves are costly here and not available enough.

If you wish try adding one crushed/torn mint leaf in water you are drinking..you would not force yourself to drink water then :)

I love plain water. We have Well water here that's filtered. Otherwise I drink plain bottled water. Careful that those lemons don't erode your tooth enamel!

Yes I am being careful of my teeth..its a thin slice of lemon for 1-2litres of water..the flavor is very mild..someone here suggested cucumber also as a combination, tried that as well.. So many combinations are available..it depends on my mood to which one i choose LOL :) Good day :)

I love water just the way it is. .I keep a gallon jug by my bed and drink from it all night. I sometimes add iodine to my water jug.. because most people are lacking in iodine and it is important for thyroid function.

@vsai2008 it's a liquid. This is what I use.. And I just add about a dozen drops to each gallon of water /ref=zg_bs_3774381_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=CP3MZ0S6DS3A7E41W45F

You might as well blend the lemon to make lemon juice. You can add a spoonful whenever you want a refreshing drink. It saves effort because you can blend the juice once a week, instead of frequenting getting lemons, and cut into slices.

I don't like the taste of water when it is not chilled. But when chilled, I like it so much that I can drink a big glass of it equivalent to 1 and one half glass of water. My officemates also have that , water with lemon slices on their water jug. It is said to help slim the body. But I don't believe that it can if you will not diet and exercise.
