It’s got to be said: sometimes, staying hydrated feels like a pain in the neck. What if your daily hydration routine could become a sensory experience, a chance you actually look forward to drinking? As told by Loch Life, hydration should be more than functional – it’s delightful, sustainable, and uniquely you. Your water can be turned into a delicious, energizing and refreshing flavored drink with a little creativity and the right natural ingredients.
To celebrate the new season and stay well hydrated, here are some Loch Life-approved flavor boosters to jazz up your hydrating journey the eco-friendly way.
1. Citrus Sensations
Lemons, limes, oranges, grapefruits, clementines, and lots of other citrus fruits are obvious for a reason. A thirst quenching addition to your water, they're bursting with vitamin C. Slice them thin for the more subtle infusion, muddle them for more flavour. Also, for a little extra twist and for the herbs to pop, add a sprig of rosemary or thyme to your citrus water: the herbs will go so well with the tartness.
2. Berry Bliss
Nature’s candy are berries, and berries are also great additions to your water. Not only do strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries add natural sweetness but they also imbue your water with vibrant colors. Mash lightly before adding them to your bottle to release the juice to their fullest and to get the best flavor out of them.
3. Tropical Escapes
Tropical fruits such as pineapple, mango or passion fruit will take you on a vacation with your taste buds. It gives your water a bit of a sweet, exotic flavor, so it feels like a little break. Coconut water or fresh mint will really put these pairings over the top.
4. Herbal Infusions
Herbs aren’t just for cooking, but they’re also hydration game changers. Mint, basil, and lavender will make your water feel as fresh as it smells and tastes! A soothing option is chamomile flowers or, even better, fresh sage. Just throw in a sprig here or a leaf there, then let the flavors soak naturally in your bottle.
5. Spice It Up
Spices like ginger, cinnamon and turmeric can give your water a little kick for those who love them. Ginger is warm and spicy, and good for the belly, and turmeric is earthy, subtle, and has great anti-inflammatory properties. A cinnamon stick can turn your water into a pleasant aromatic delight.
6. Cucumber Cool
A go to for “spa like” hydration is cucumber slices. The subtle, refreshing flavor goes great with just about anything—a good example being their combination with lemon and mint to make one of my favorite combos ever.
7. Floral Elegance
In addition, you can add a top of edible flowers such as rose petals, hibiscus or violets, which will make the whole hydration routine a bit more elegant. With their sweet, delicate flavour and cute look, they are not only beautiful, but in addition they add a something special to the water.
