While detox juices are all the rage in China, "infused water" has long been a popular detox drink abroad! Unlike juice, "infused water" simply involves choosing your favorite fruits, soaking them in purified water in a sealed glass jar, and refrigerating it for 3-12 hours to allow the fruit flavor to infuse the water before drinking. This natural beverage is not only visually appealing but also easy to make. Most importantly, as a summer drink, infused water is exceptionally healthy, with fantastic detoxifying and health-promoting effects!
1. Blueberries + Sage
This combination has a rich flavor, with the mellowness of sage paired with the crispness of blueberries. It is very helpful for women's endocrine circulation and women who need to regulate their menstrual cycle can give it a try.
2. Mint + Cucumber
Peppermint is cooling and detoxifying, while cucumber is diuretic. This combination is perfect for detoxifying in summer. Drinking it regularly can make your skin clean and bright, and your whole body hydrated.
3. Strawberry + Basil
Strawberries can break down food fats and aid digestion, while basil is excellent at eliminating dampness. The combination of these two is highly beneficial for detoxification and weight loss in summer, as well as for preventing eczema and allergies.
IV. Cucumber + Lemon + Rosemary + Thyme + Mint
Cucumber and lemon might taste too bitter and sour, but adding sweet thyme and refreshing mint can effectively improve the flavor. In addition, rosemary has a calming and refreshing effect. This combination makes infused water the perfect companion for a summer morning.
5. Strawberry + Red Grapefruit
Red grapefruit contains natural folic acid, which helps women effectively absorb more calcium and iron. Combined with strawberries that are easy to digest, drinking this infused water regularly can make your complexion look more rosy and radiant.
VI. Apple + Cinnamon + Rhubarb
Rhubarb might be unfamiliar to most people, but it's actually a common herb with significant effects in clearing heat and dampness; apples contain highly soluble nutrients that are easily absorbed by the body, and they help dissolve sulfur, making the skin smooth and supple; this combination, paired with cinnamon used for flavoring, how could it not improve your skin?
7. Lemon + Raspberry + Mint
Raspberries are highly diuretic and greatly beneficial to the human circulatory system. Infused water made primarily with raspberries is ideal for rehydration after strenuous exercise in the summer.
8. Orange + Lemon + Raw
This infused water has a sweet taste and is refreshing and invigorating. A cup of it on a summer afternoon is much more energizing than a greasy afternoon tea!
