Infused Water: Tips for Flavored Water

Tap water is boring? Not at all! We'll show you three quick recipes for infused water that are simple, refreshing and healthy. Infused water is prepared in just a few seconds and is so delicious that you'll automatically drink a lot more - perfect for summer!

refreshing and varied: homemade infused water

Summer is here! And when the temperatures rise, it is important to drink enough. Reaching for your soulbottle quenches your thirst , but admittedly: pure tap water is not a taste explosion. We should drink around two to three liters a day, because water increases your ability to concentrate, helps the body to detoxify and makes you more alert than coffee. With a few slices of juicy fruit or vegetables and fresh herbs, you can easily make healthy, delicious drinks from tap water. Infused water - or in other words: water with flavor - is a great and healthy way to make drinking from your soulbottle more beautiful, colorful and varied!

water with flavor – prepared in just a few seconds

For the infused water recipes, you simply need to fill a handful of your favorite ingredients into a clean soulbottle, pour tap water over them and leave them to steep in the fridge for a few hours. Anything that tastes good is allowed! Popular ingredients include lemon, ginger, cucumber, rosemary, mint and strawberries. We recommend choosing seasonal and regional ingredients as well as organic quality as possible.

Our three favorite recipes for infused water bring delicious variety to your tap water. The beautiful 1.0l soulmates are particularly suitable for this, because our creations are so delicious that you probably won't be able to get enough of them!

recipe 1: cucumber and basil

1. Use a vegetable peeler to peel about 5 to 7 cucumber strips lengthwise or crosswise from the cucumber so that they fit perfectly into the bottle neck opening.

2. Crush the basil a little in your hand to release its essential oils and make it taste more intense.

3. Pour tap water over it and enjoy.

Pro tip: If you want a more intense basil flavor, you can dab a little bit of pressed basil onto the edge of the bottle neck.

recipe 2: berries and pomegranate

1. Choose a favorite type of berry or simply a berry mix, preferably from the freezer.

2. Add pomegranate seeds.

3. Add sage or place as decoration.

4. All that’s missing is tap water, done!

Pro tip : If you like your infused water even more colorful, you can also crush the berries a little. This creates bright colors in your soulbottle and releases the aromas of the berries. We also added a little rhubarb juice to our berry pomegranate water. This gives the whole thing an additional sour note.

recipe 3: rosemary and grapefruit

1. Cut the grapefruit into about 3-4 thin slices, then they will fit perfectly into the bottle neck opening.

2. Add 3 medium-sized rosemary sprigs.

3. Turn on the tap and fill with water.

Pro tip: If you want to add some extra color to your infused water, you can squeeze a sip of fresh grapefruit juice from the other grapefruit half and pour it into the soulbottle.

bonus: refreshing chai drinks

In winter we have our absolute favorite recipe for homemade chai syrup explained. You can unpack that again now too! Because with ice-cold tap water, a dash of lemon or alternatively a sip of espresso, ice cubes and oat milk, the chai syrup also works damn well in cold spring drinks. Try it out!

and otherwise?

I'm now heading to the kitchen to fill up my soulbottle before heading off to the next video call with grapefruit water. But first, one last pro tip for real professionals: Glass straws! Besides drinking, they are also perfect for making strange bubbling noises and casual hipster poses during video calls.
