Ingredients
- It is very easy to get bored with water, so why not make it a little more interesting by adding a few healthy, simple and natural ingredients. It’ll take you a matter of minutes to create these waters and can be made in large batches and kept in the fridge.
- Be adventurous with your flavours and gain a wide pallet for combinations ensuring that there is always a flavour you can combine throughout the year to avoiding having to use bitter and expensive fruit that is no longer in season.
- (hint: ensure your fruit is nice and ripe, to avoid flavourless and overly bitter drinks)
- 2 limes
- 2 generous handfuls of raspberries
- A jug or pitcher
- A wooden spoon, muddler, or rolling pin
- Fresh tap water
- Ice

1. Quarter 2 limes. Using your hands, squeeze the lime juice into you jug/pitcher and throw in the squeezed lime quarters.

2. Add all of the raspberries to your jug/pitcher. Press down and twist the fruit with the muddler/woodenspoon/rolling pin (press down firmly enough to release a lot of the juices but do not pulverise into pieces)
