2 Fruity Flavored Water Recipes for Summer

Here in the northeast the temperatures are already rising and you can tell that summer is just around the corner. I love to drink water but sometimes it gets boring or doesn't quench my thirst. That is when I turn to homemade flavored water recipes like the two that I am featuring on the blog today.

These two recipes are courtesy of the great folks over at Jeju 16 Water.
