3 Spa Water Recipes for That Perfect Summer Glow

I can’t believe I’m actually saying this but SPRING IS FINALLY HERE!!! Pop the champagne, throw the confetti, I want THE WORKS lol!!! I mean granted, it snowed today but it’s officially spring!! I’m just hoping that the spring weather is on It’s way! One thing I usually do around this time of year and throughout the summer months is to increase my water intake. Since I’m not that big on drinking water I’ve found that drinking spa water (or infused water, or detox water lol whichever name you prefer) makes it a lot more tolerable for me. YOU GUYS!!! Can I just say when I’m drinking this water my skin GLOWS ALL SUMMER LONG!! It’s AH-MAZING… I mean that was TOTALLY my selling point on this… not to mention it actually tastes pretty good too! I also like to make this when I’m entertaining in the summer as well, It’s just such a pretty element to add to your bar cart or drink station and looks SO much better than a boring ol‘ pitcher of water lol! There are so many different combinations you can make I swear the possibilities are endless! Today I’ll be sharing three different recipes… BUT by all means, feel free to mix it up!!

Okay, so this is super simple to do! First you’ll want to pick whatever fruit you prefer and want to add to your water. Wash your fruit good and slice what needs to be sliced.

Next, you’ll want to layer your fruit and ice. You can adjust the fruit to ice ratio depending on what you prefer. Lastly, add your water, you can use flat or sparkling water… I prefer sparking because it gives the water a little pop! Below I’ll give you the exact measurements that I used to make my waters in these jars that were about 32oz. However, these measurements are just to give you guys an idea of how much fruit I used but this should be made to fit your own tastes and needs!!

LEMON SPA WATER

1 Lemon sliced
2 Cups of ice
Water (sparkling or flat)

BLACKBERRY RASPBERRY SPA WATER

1/2 Cup of raspberries
1/2 Cup of blackberries
2 Cups of ice
Water (sparkling or flat)

BLUEBERRY LEMON SPA WATER

1 Lemon sliced
1/2 Cup of blueberries
2 Cups of ice
Water (sparkling or flat)

QUICK TIP: Let your water sit in your fridge overnight to obtain the most flavor and health benefits. However, If I’m making spa water to serve at an event I’m hosting I DO NOT let it sit overnight because the water will take on the color of whatever fruits you’ve used. Personally, I think this can look a little less than appetizing to guests.
