Elegant and refreshing... there is nothing boring about herbal infused waters.
These satisfying, easy to make waters are and light and oh, so interesting...
Herbal Waters have a hint of flavor that lingers as you drink it down. Dazzling!
A welcomed alternative to regular water and much more economical than those expensive flavored water. Perfect for hydrating with style during the upcoming warm months or after exercising!
Make a statement by filling pretty bottles with your favorite Herbal Infused Waters... so chic!
STONEGABLE APPLEMINT HERBAL WATER
good fresh water
fresh applemint, rinsed
Fill a pretty bottle with good quality water and add sprigs of applemint. Depending on how intense you want the flavor, slightly bruise some of the leaves, releasing the applemint oils into the water. Refrigerate for a couple of hours. Serve with plenty of ice and a nice sprig of mint.
Show restraint... herbal waters should be very lightly flavored, so you only need a small amount of herbs. They should gently infuse the water.
Some recipes call for steeping herbs in boiling water. This can changes the flavor of the herbs, loosing their just picked, fresh taste. I would not recommend this for herbal waters.

ReplyDeleteLove it Yvonne....cucumber or mint or lemon verbena are my favs!
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog. What a lot of fun stuff. I'm going to try the breakfast cookies. I'm your newest follower. It's so nice to meet you!

I love cucumber and lemon slices in water and have been drinking it for a while. I just started adding mint, it is wonderful. I need to look for apple mint here. I don't think I have ever seen it. I love the individual bottles. xo
ReplyDeleteI love making herbal (or berry) infused waters, especially in the summer. Lemon is a favourite, as is mint, and lemon balm. Now if only the weather would warm up around here!
ReplyDeleteSound great, I have some lemon balm on hand right now. I do do water with cucumber slices, so I will have to give your recipes a try. Thanks for the great refreshing idea:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your sweet comment. I love the presentation of your water. I once made mint lime water and our dinner guests couldn't believe it was just mint and lime. I hope my mint spreads so I can make this soon.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, Yvonne. Reminds me of Mexican agua fresca.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you visited my blog and that I returned the visit - and now I'm strangely thirsty.
Perfect and healthy idea for the summer months ahead!
ReplyDeleteBon week-end Yvonne!

I love trying new recipes of herbal water, using herbs I have in my garden mostly, so I know there's no chemical of any kind on them... But here we're having a chilly spring, so I'll stick to hot herbal tea for a little while! Thanks for the ideas of combinations, though, I'll try some of them as soon as normal spring temperatures are back!
ReplyDeleteSounds very refreshing Yvonne! My mint is up:@)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds and looks good, pretty and refreshing. Now you can't beat that! Thanks! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous idea....one I have kind of forgotten about. Thanks for the tip, have people coming over on Tues. will give this a go!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy the cucumber water they serve at various spas I've been to, so your applemint would be right up my alley, Yvonne. I've never thought to make some for home!
ReplyDeleteI have a few antique bottles with the same type of stoppers that my sister found in the attic of my parents home. I need to get them down & use them in a tablescape somehow!
Hugs to you my friend, for all your wonderful ideas,
Rett
Great idea! Can't say that i've ever tried water like this. Closest I've come is tea with a sprig of mint in it! The applemint sounds the best!
ReplyDeleteVery refreshing Yvonne! I always put a pitcher of water with lemon slices on the table when we have company, but I can't wait to try one of these combos!! Have a great weekend :)
ReplyDeleteLovely idea - my mint is coming along nicely... will give this a try soon.

Now that looks refreshing! Did you know that the pic you have on your sidebar has the word "herbal" misspelled? You left out the "b" :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics! I love your choice of serving ware, too.
ReplyDeleteThese are great ideas! Thank you. I do marketing for a company that allows you to infuse water directly into this cute plastic portable water bottle, with the fruit stored in the bottom. The URL is http://www.zinganything.com if you want to check it out.
