Refreshing Cranberry Infused Water


by Peter Baverso, Fitness Director 



Fall has arrived and that means cranberries are back on the market shelves. Don’t just wait for Thanksgiving to enjoy this seasonal favorite - you can enjoy the refreshing flavor every day - in your water bottle. Don’t bother with commercial flavored waters that don’t provide the freshness your body craves. In just a few minutes, you can make your own infusion packed with cranberries which are full of antioxidants and vitamin C.


Here is a simple and easy way to perk up your hydration habit with cranberry infused water you can make at home.



Simply wash a handful of cranberries and place them in a heat-proof container. Add a few
slices of lemon, a few sprigs of mint (I like orange mint for this water) and some fresh ginger. Add some hot water to infuse the flavors and allow the infused water to cool before drinking. If you prefer cold water, you can fill your container half full with hot water and then add some ice. Since you are using fresh ingredients the flavors last so you can refill your bottle throughout the day.
