Water recipes and infusions for detoxification and cleansing are one of the hottest trends in healthy living, with many fans even choosing to post their creations on their blogs and social media pages.
So with all the hype to consider, what are the best combinations? Here are seven delicious flavours to enjoy whilst staying hydrated and living a healthier lifestyle.

Orange and Blueberry

Blueberry is known for its ‘superfood’ properties. They are natural antioxidants which help to neutralise free radicals within the body – helping to protect you from certain cancers, cardiovascular diseases and more.
The orange adds a little something extra for a great citrus flavour!

Lime and Mint

If you’re in the mood for a cocktail but looking to avoid the alcohol associated with the classic mojito, why not try a lime and mint infusion?
The sweet, citrus flavour of the lime combined with refreshing mint will be just the thing on a hot summer day, plus the lime will naturally promote a healthy digestive system.

Strawberry and Cucumber

Strawberry and cucumber work great together for a sweet yet subtle flavour. Cucumber is a natural anti-inflammatory, whilst strawberries will encourage the natural cleansing of the liver and kidneys.

Raspberry, Rose and Vanilla

Reminiscent of sweet Turkish Delight, the blend of rose petals, vanilla and raspberry, feel like an indulgent treat whilst still being good for you! You may be surprised to learn that rose infusions can be especially helpful for fighting coughs, reducing stress, calming allergies and healing headaches to name a few!

Watermelon and Coconut

For a tropical twist, try a watermelon and coconut infusion. Coconut is known for its ultra-hydrating properties such as electrolytes and minerals, whilst watermelon is full of antioxidants, vitamins and amino acids.

Mango and Lime

We’ve already outlined the benefits of lime, but let’s take a look at Mango. Mangos are ideal for alkalising your body and maintaining a healthy pH level, as well as providing immune-boosting vitamins A and C!

Lemon: Plain and Simple

Sometimes the classics are the best, and lemon is a great one to start with! You may be surprised at something so simple, but there are lots of benefits to this citrus infusion!

• Lemons are a great source of potassium.
