First, get a large pitcher and add in a sliced fresh lemon, make sure wash the outside first. Then add in some of your favorite seasonal fruits: juicy melon chunk, fresh-picked berries, or a sliced nectarine or peach.<\/p>\n<p>Afterwards, the skies the limits with flavors! For an herbal note, add in a few basil leaves, a sprig of rosemary, or even a couple of lavender flowers from the garden. I also like to add a teaspoon or so of chia seeds to plump \u2013 I love their fun texture! And if you like a touch of sweetness you could add a <strong>tiny <\/strong>splash of honey or agave. <\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 265px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 265\/300;margin:0px auto\" data-src=\"http:\/\/kathycasey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/InfusedWater-265x300.jpg\" alt=\"InfusedWater\" width=\"265\" height=\"300\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-6086 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now, fill up your pitcher with filtered or spring water.
