For many of us, it’s difficult to stop what we’re doing and drink water whenever we get thirsty. Maybe you’re busy helping customers, and it’s hard to get away for a sip or two. Some of us don’t drink enough water because we don’t like the taste of it. Whatever your reason, use these tips to help you plan for and sneak water into your day.

How do you infuse water?

It’s super easy! Just slice up some of your favorite fruit and add it to a bottle or pitcher of water. You also can add herbs like basil or mint. Then, let it sit for about 5 minutes. The flavors from the fruit and herbs will combine with the water for a tasty twist.
