Do you struggle to keep up your daily water intake? Are you bored of drinking endless cups of water to stay hydrated? Why not add some natural ingredients to give the flavour of your filtered water a boost and keep you hydrated!

And adding flavour doesn’t mean adding calories. There are plenty of easy ways to use natural ingredients like fruit, vegetables and tea to make water exciting.

And by using filtered water you won’t be adding any possible nasties that can harm your health. So ditch the high sugar artificial flavours for natural ingredients and your body will thank you for it.

1. Lemon lime infused water

Lemon and lime – a summertime classic – is a perfect pair of natural ingredients to add to filtered water. They bring a tangy twist of flavour that will leave you wanting more. Plus, lemon is packed with high amounts of Vitamin C and is great for promoting good digestion.

Simply cut ½ lemon and ½ lime into thin slices and add to a jug of 4 cups of cold filtered water. Store in the fridge to keep it cool before serving. The longer the lemon and lime sit in the water the higher the potency of flavour!

2. Strawberry and cucumber infused water

Take plain water to the next level with this delightful sweet drink. And it couldn’t get much easier. Add ripe strawberries with cucumber to create a perfect drink for the warmer months.

Simply cut one or two large strawberries into pieces and thinly slice a cucumber. Add to 4 cups of cold filtered water and serve! Store in the fridge for up to two days.

3. Cold-brewed iced tea with fruit

A sweet summertime refresher, this cold-brewed iced tea with fruit drink will be a crowd-pleaser. Get creative and add in your favourite fruit flavours, whether it’s – berry mint: strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and mint leaves, or peach mint: peach slices, raspberries and mint leaves.

Add one teabag for every 100ml of room temperature filtered water. Allow the tea to brew for up to one hour. Add in your favourite fresh fruit and then refrigerate for 12-24 hours.

Remove the teabag and sweeten with a natural syrup (if you wish). You can mix with equal parts honey and hot water as a sugar alternative. Serve with ice for a refreshing summer drink.

4. Orange, lemon and mint infused water

This flavoured water packs a serious punch. Kick start the day or give your body a natural boost during winter. Orange and lemon naturally contain high amounts of Vitamin C and natural antioxidants. And if you are looking to take it up a notch, add in a touch of freshly grated ginger to help keep your immune system strong and ward off germs.

You will need ½ lemon and ½ orange cut into thin slices. Finely chop a bunch of mint leaves and add to 4 cups of cold filtered water. Refrigerate for at least one hour before drinking.

5. Cucumber and mint infused water

The subtle flavour of cucumber with the sharp, sweet taste of mint brings a refreshing ‘cool’ taste to your everyday water. Take a pinch of mint and add in a few slices of cucumber and you are on your way to some seriously cool water. And because these ingredients can be found any time of year… you can enjoy it any season.

Finely chop a small bunch of mint leaves and thinly slice the cucumber. Add to 4 cups of cold filtered water. Store in the fridge for a few hours before serving to allow the ingredients to steep and strengthen.

When it comes to looking after the environment, we all play our part. And you don’t have to go off the grid to make a difference.

When we all make small changes, they do add up. Here are 10 simple ways you can help the environment.

1. Cut down your shower time

Reducing your time spent in the shower can help conserve precious water. Every minute you reduce your time in the shower can conserve 5 litres of water. Every drop counts.

You can also invest in a water efficient nozzle head for your shower, which can help save on the amount of water you use. Not only are you doing your bit to help the environment, the bonus is you will also save money on your water bill.

2. Stop buying bottled drinking water

Drinking single use bottled water is costly… both to you and the planet. Producing just one plastic bottle requires a huge amount of fossil fuels, energy and ironically…water!

You can enjoy great tasting quality water for less by filling your own reusable water bottle from your home water filtration system. By installing a home water filter, you will end up saving hundreds of dollars each year and helping to reduce your carbon footprint.

3. Separate your rubbish properly

Tonnes of waste that could be recycled ends up as landfill every year… simply because people don’t properly dispose of their rubbish.

Take the time every day to check the label on the package or product before putting it in the bin. It will help reduce landfill waste and give your recyclable products a second life.

4. Compost your food scraps

Composting your food scraps, like fruit and vegetables, is a great way to help the environment. It reduces the amount of waste you put into landfill. And it delivers you with an endless source of enriched soil… that you can use to keep your plants healthy. It’s a win-win!

5. Use LED lights

LED lights are super energy efficient. They use less electricity and last longer. Reduce your electricity usage and save on your electricity bill. It’s a no brainer!

6. Use reusable bags

Many of us have made the switch to using reusable bags at the major supermarkets. But we shouldn’t stop there. If you are out and about or shopping for other goods – bring along your reusable bags.

Every plastic bag that doesn’t end up in the landfill is helping to keep harmful plastics out of the environment – and preventing potential harm to wildlife, marine life or vegetation.

7. Switch to a reusable cup for beverages

Did you know that in Australia 2.7 million disposable coffee cups are thrown out every day?

That’s a lot of waste going to landfill or, worse, ending up in nature. Switch to using a reusable cup for your hot or cold beverages and you will be doing your part to help the environment and keep our planet healthy.

And making your own tea or coffee at home is a fraction of the cost, helping you to save money and reduce your carbon footprint. Using filtered water can improve the taste and quality of your daily coffee. Your coffee won’t have any of the nasties found in unfiltered tap water and it’ll have none of that horrible chlorine taste.

8. Meat-free Mondays

Animal agricultural and industrial fishing have a detrimental effect on the environment. That’s why eating meat-free meals one day a week can make a world of difference.

Consider whipping up a yummy vegetarian or vegan meal for the family instead. And not to bang on about it, but using filtered water in your cooking is a great way to enhance the flavours of your food.

9. Recycle or reuse your rubbish

Recycling your used bottles can be a great way to give them a second life… as well as earn some extra money on the side. Take your plastics, glass and aluminium to a local recycling station or centre to cash in. Look at the label on the bottle to make sure it’s suitable for recycling.

Or there are plenty of creative ways to reuse plastic bottles. Make a necklace out of plastic bottle tops. Use leftover glass jars in the kitchen by refilling with various condiments or other foods such as rice, pasta or sauces.

10. Pick up rubbish

Single use plastics are convenient for a minute but too often end up as litter on the side of the road or in our ocean and waterways. You can help by picking up a piece of rubbish or plastic anytime you are out in nature… whether it’s a local park, beach or nature reserve.

Drinking filtered water at home doesn’t cost the planet

At WFA, we believe that we should all play our part to help the environment and keep our planet healthy for decades to come.

Drinking filtered water can help reduce our impact on the environment and deliver a source of water that is healthy, free from nasties and tastes great.
