Water is classified under three categories: 0 to 60 mg/L as soft, 61 to 120 mg/L as moderately hard, 121 to 180 mg/L as hard, and finally above 180 mg/L as very hard. A water softener installation can help remove minerals that cause water hardness to make it fit for consumption. Here are the top five ways you can creatively make your water taste great to keep yourself healthy and hydrated.
Citrus fruits like limes, oranges, and lemons are classic water enhancers, but other fruit flavors can also arouse your taste buds. Try crushing fresh watermelon and raspberries in your water or adding strawberry slices.
Any fruit juice is a good base flavor for water, but tart juice like apple, grape, pomegranate, and cranberry are especially delicious. Go for natural juices with no added sugar. Remember, juices not only add taste, but they also contain antioxidants and vitamins that benefit your health.
Avoid drinking boring water and use flavored ice cubes to keep your drink cold, bump up the flavor, and add more nutrients from your daily water intake. Chop your preferred additive, add it to your ice-cube tray, and let it freeze. You might also consider adding tea, coffee cubes, or juice. If you want to be more artistic, make use of ice cube trays in fun shapes, such as fish, stars, hearts, or fruit-shaped.
First, ensure your water doesn’t have a strange smell caused by dirty pipes. Water softening services can help prevent the accumulation of minerals inside your home water system. After that, spike your odorless water by adding herbs like lavender, basil, peppermint, or lemongrass, as they lend a much sweet flavor to your water. Steep the herbs in plain water for a night, and don’t forget some lemon or lime juice in the morning to make it better. Be creative with your herbs and use different combinations to make your glass more interesting.
Cinnamon sticks spice up your water! The flavored cinnamon water tastes sweet and has various health benefits that help decrease blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Ensure you boil some cinnamon sticks in a cup of water and use that water as a concentrated formula to blend with cold water.
Water is important, and when drinking it isn’t prioritized, you’re likely to feel the harsh consequences. If the water tastes boring, just implement the above five tips to flavor it. But remember adding flavor to your water starts by ensuring it’s clean. Contact a professional for water softening services to help you clean up or prevent water pollutants like minerals (scale) building up inside fixtures, water heaters, and pipes. And if you need emergency plumbing services, make sure to contact a professional emergency plumbing contractor.
