Infusing your water with fruits, herbs, or veggies not only adds flavor to the water, but also adds essential vitamins and nutrients that help your body. It is a great way to quench your thirst and keep you hydrated on a hot, late summer day. They can be helpful for getting children to increase their daily water intake. And they are pretty, too.
Making your own is more cost friendly and healthier than purchased waters. So join in making some feast day themed waters with a hint of summer flavors for our August saints.
Making infused water is very simple. Just add desired fruit, veggie, or herb or combination to a pitcher of water with ice. Muddle mixture a bit if you want to increase flavor and let steep for at least several hours, up to 24, depending on how strong you want the flavors. For some mixtures you can pour directly from pitcher, for others you may want to strain ingredients first to remove small floaters. As long as you keep the water refrigerated, the fruit should stay fresh. And you can keep refilling the picture as you drink the water but, it will dilute the flavor each time you refill. It should last several days before you need to remake with fresh fruit.
One way to make infused water is with a single ingredient. Citrus is a great, no lose option for adding a touch of flavor to water, so it can be a good one to start with.

My favourite this summer has been cucuŠ¼ber mint. Sliced cucuŠ¼bers, a sprig of fresh mint (I prefer peppermint) and some fresh or dried stevia leaves. It's incredibly refreshing.
Rose petals with mint is delicious as well.
I've been experimenting with herbed jellies as well. I made lemon balm basil jelly and it was different to be sure. It's best served with cream cheese on crackers. Another favorite of mine is rose petal jelly or syrup. Tastes just like a rose smells.

You 'Stand Alone' (ie GODLESS or falsely fullfilled by a Pagan made-up Babylonian-Jew God ) as a Modern Masonic Satanist.

A nice cold beer is very refreshing.
The monks of old drank nothing but beer, or wine, or whiskey and Dom Perignon is the name of a blind monk who was also a brewer of sorts.
Being in the St Louis area, there are many really nice small breweries here but I favor Schlafly.
