Day 11: Serving Flavored Herb and Fruit Water
Thanks for joining me in my “30 Days of Summer Entertaining” series.
At the beginning of summer I’ll stock up on drinks for our outdoor fridge, but I have found that people really like water!
An inexpensive way to a beautiful display of water, but to use herbs from the garden, is to take your homegrown herbs and make flavored water.
I always add oranges and lemons. And if you have them, make sure and include slices of lime.
The other day I washed the mint and added water and ice.
My son is home from college so he was my little guinea pig. He loved the light taste of mint!
Refreshing and perfect for a hot summer day.
Really, there’s nothing like water.
It’s my favorite drink for summer time entertaining.
Do you have any tips on cool ways to serve water to your guests?

I am having a pool side Luau for my daughter’s 8th grade graduation and LOVE the idea of serving this beauty-full water! Thanks for the tip!

I drink a lot of flavored water and I love to serve it to guests. Favorite combinations include cucumbers and mint, rosemary and mint, rosemary and lime, and mint and lemon.
I love flavoring my water with fruits and herbs. My current favorite is very thinly sliced lemon and english cucumbers. My husband even drinks it. Can’t wait for my basil to grow a little more!
