Steps:
- Place several good sized chunks of pineapple into the jar.
- Add the juices from cutting the pineapple into the jar.
- Using the muddler, crush up the pineapple a bit.
- Add three or so large mint leaves crush them some as well.
- Fill the jar up with water and shake. Refrigerate and enjoy!
Going to have a party? Offer homemade vitamin waters as a drink option. Crush the fruits in a separate bowl, keeping the crushed fruits and herbs set aside for refills. Place the fruit and herbs in a strainer and pour the water through it into a pitcher.
If you are looking for a vitamin water that is less fruity give this one a try!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cucumber
- 2-3 sprigs of thyme (or rosemary)
- glass quart-size canning jars (with lid and ring)
- muddler or long-handled spoon
- filtered water or tap water
Steps:
- Slice up half a cucumber, if the peel is waxed remove it. Place in the jar.
- Put 2-3 sprigs of thyme (a sprig rosemary or both) into the jar. Remove the stem on the rosemary as it can cause bitterness.

- Using a muddler, lightly crush the cucumber and thyme leaves to release their flavor.
- Fill the jar up with water, shake, and refrigerate. Enjoy!
