Want to jazz up plain old water? Try infusing, still or sparkling water, with fresh fruits, veggies, herbs and spices to hydrate your body during hot summer days, guilt free of calories and added sugars. You don’t have to spend a lot on fancy flavored waters or gadgets to reap the benefits for your skin, eyes, cells, brain and heart health. Fresh herbs and spices such as basil, ginger or cinnamon are powerful aromatics that not only smell great but boost the anti-inflammatory potential of liquid elixirs.
Pour sparkling water into a glass; add apple slices and stir in cinnamon stick.
