Homemade Vitamin Water Recipes

Ingredients:

• 1/2- 1 cup fresh or canned pineapple
• fresh mint (2-3 large leaves)
• glass quart-size canning jars (with lid and ring)
• muddler or long-handled spoon
• filtered water or tap water

Steps:

1. Place several good sized chunks of pineapple into the jar.
2. Add the juices from cutting the pineapple into the jar.
3. Using the muddler, crush up the pineapple a bit.
4. Add three or so large mint leaves crush them some as well.
5. Fill the jar up with water and shake. Refrigerate and enjoy!

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:

1. Slice up half a cucumber, if the peel is waxed remove it. Place in the jar.
2. 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.
3. Add 1/2-1 cup of water to the jar.
4. Using a muddler, lightly crush the cucumber and thyme leaves to release their flavor.
5. Fill the jar up with water, shake, and refrigerate. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 1 apple
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 2-3 whole cloves
• filtered water or tap water
• glass quart-size canning jars (with lid and ring)
• muddler or long-handled spoon

Steps:

1. Cut and de-seed or core an apple. You can take the skin off or leave it on. I tend to leave it on as many vitamins lurk in the peels.
2. Place the apple wedges in about 1/2-1 cup of water into the jar.
3. Using a muddler, crush them fairly well (the apples don't release as much flavor when they are not crushed up).
4. Place two to three whole cloves and one cinnamon stick into the water.
5. Fill up the jar with water, put the lid on, shake well, and refrigerate.
