Sometimes, plain water needs a little sparkle - without sugar, syrups, or fancy bottles. Infused tap water is an easy, healthy way to stay hydrated and add fresh flavour to your day. Whether you want a morning boost, an afternoon pick-me-up, or a calming drink before bed, there’s a blend to match your mood.
Why infused tap water is worth it
- Zero added sugar: Skip the hidden sweeteners in juices and sodas.
- Hydration without guilt: Water helps digestion, focus, and energy. Flavour infusions make it easier to drink more.
- Quality at your tap: Tap water is tested, safe, and perfect for infusing - no bottled water needed.
Morning refresher: Lemon, cucumber & mint
Mood: Energising, refreshing

How to make:
- Slice 2–3 lemon rounds.
- Slice 4–5 thin cucumber rounds.
- Tear 3–4 fresh mint leaves.
- Add to a jug of cold tap water. Refrigerate for 1 hour or prep overnight.
Afternoon focus: Strawberry & basil
Mood: Light, refreshing, mind-clearing
Why it works: Strawberries add natural sweetness. Basil brings a subtle herbal lift for focus.
How to make:
- Slice 4–5 fresh strawberries.
- Add 3–4 basil leaves.
- Fill a jug with chilled tap water. Steep for at least 30 minutes.
Evening wind-down: Chamomile, apple & cinnamon
Mood: Calming, cosy, soothing
Why it works: Chamomile encourages relaxation. Apple gives gentle sweetness. Cinnamon adds warmth without sugar.
How to make:
- Steep 1 chamomile tea bag in a small cup of hot water, then cool.
- Slice 3–4 thin rounds of apple.
- Add 1 cinnamon stick.

Tips for prepping overnight
- Use a large jar or jug with a lid.
- Rinse fruit and herbs.
- For a stronger flavour, lightly crush herbs or muddle fruit before adding water.
- Store in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Longer can make flavours bitter.
