I love this! I am a huge fan of homemade natural remedies rather than using the artificial ones. I’m definitely going to try your recipe with strawberries, tangerine, pomegranate and mint leaves as these are among my favorite fruits! I run marathons and I hate taking artificial electrolytes drinks, but I will try for sure the fruit infused water for my next training as it’s so natural! Thank you so much for sharing!
