Fruits, sparkles and infused water recipes you are going to love!

Sparkling water + fruits is a kick ass combo! And a super healthy one too. Whenever we have to entertain guests and have to make last minute preparations or when we feel like having something fancy yet lazy-people-friendly, we make infused water. It's healthy, tasty and insanely hydrating.

Fancy doesn't come easier than this! A pitcher of sparkling water and your favorite fruits to sip and enjoy. Today, we are giving your our favorite infused water combos - some classy and some refreshing ones that might sound weird at first but we promise you'll love it!

Before we get into the combos, some tips from the pros -

1. If you are using citrus fruits, make sure you drink/serve it within at least 4 hours to avoid the water going bitter.
2. Reuse the fruits. The slices of fruits you have can be definitely used for a couple of batches and once you are certain there is no flavour left, you can dispose them.
3. Although you can refrigerate it and keep the infused water for almost 36 hours (if it's not citrus fruits), it's always better to drink it that day.
4. Make the batch when it's time to serve. Infused water needs only 15 minutes to get the flavour so it's always better to make them right before it's time to serve.
