Drinking enough water is crucial for maintaining good health. When we don’t consume enough, our bodies can experience fatigue, headaches, poor digestion, and even skin issues. Dehydration can sneak up on us, especially during hot weather or busy days. One tasty way to ensure you’re drinking more water is by turning it into a delicious, naturally flavored beverage. This infused water recipe not only encourages hydration but also adds a refreshing twist to your daily intake.
