Water, water everywhere

I *love* water on its own, but have been experimenting ways to make it tastier by spiking it with slices of fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs in a pitcher. These are some of my recent creations:

1. Cucumber - quite cooling.
2. Cucumber lemon - my current favorite.
3. Lemon mint.
4. Orange mint.
5. Lime mint.
6. Cherry lemon - use firm cherries, slice very thin, and do not allow to remain in water for too long.
8. Cherry lime.
9. Grapefruit mint.
10. Strawberry lemon - again, use very firm strawberries and drink soon after making.

And a must-try: Tazo's "Passion" tea, cooled, and topped with a splash of Sprite or 7-Up. It is like drinking a flower with a slice of lemon.
