5 Ways to Make Your Drinking Water Taste Better

We all know how much water we’re supposed to be drinking each day, but many people find that they simply do not like the taste of plain water.

As a result, it is then easy to fall into the trap of drinking coffee, juice or unhealthy fizzy drinks instead, which are not only less healthy for the body, they also won’t provide the same level of hydration as a cool glass of water would.

So what can be done to make water taste better for those who enjoy a little flavour? Here are five ways to get you started.
 
Fruit Infusions
 
Adding some fresh fruit to your water will infuse it with flavour, especially if left in a jug or bottle in the refrigerator overnight.

Some great infusions to try are lemons, limes, oranges, strawberries, cucumber and mint.
 
Squash or Cordial – Even Fresh Juice
 
Squashes and cordials can be easily purchased in any supermarket and are available with varying levels of sugar and chemicals to suit any dietary requirements or preferences. An alternative is adding a few drops of fresh juice for a more natural flavour.
 
Add Some Ice
 
Many people agree that ice water tastes better than room temperature, so add a little ice and see if that makes a difference. You may even want to try making your own flavoured ice cubes by adding your favourite fruit or flavourings to an ice cube tray.
 
Sweeten It Up
 
Some people prefer a sweeter taste, so it’s not unheard of to add a little sweetener (such as Stevia, Truvia or Splenda) to give your water a sweet flavour without the calories and sugar content of soda or fizzy pop.
 
A Water Filter or Softener
 
You may find that it’s actually the quality of your drinking water that has led you to dislike the taste. Perhaps it’s too hard, or maybe you can taste a little chlorine. If that’s the case, it’s understandable why you wouldn’t want to drink it!

Luckily, this can be easily fixed with the addition of a water filter or softener that will improve both the quality and taste of your tap water, making it safer and more pleasant to drink.

EWT Water Specialists can provide and install water filters and softeners in both homes and commercial spaces, improving the overall quality of your supply.
 
With any luck, you’ll find that by making your water more appealing to your taste buds, you’ll find it easier than ever to reach the recommended 2.0 litres of water per day – however you decide to do so!
