Be creative with water in your Summer drinks
You will probably spend a lot of time in the sun these weeks, so it is very important to drink enough water. One way to spice up your bottle or glass is with some color and a fruity taste.
You just cut pieces of fruit into slices and put it into the water.
Not only very tasty, but it also looks very cool!
Another fun example, you can put small pieces of fruit inside your ice cube mold.
Then all you have to do is freeze them overnight.
