In reply to bev. I don't use much ice. But you can put a few ice cubes in. Just remember, no ice drinks around meals, it dampens your digestive process

In reply to Cathy.

HI Cathy,
i would use room temperature water and I leave it out on the counter.
Start with one herb. Try mint first, let it sit out on the counter and see how long it takes until you like the taste. Remember this is going to be a LOT more subtle than a tea and the other thing is we are so used to all the store bought flavor drinks that have tricked our taste buds into responding to chemical flavors. So there also might be some taste bud adjustment going on…..

Hi Kami, I so love your website and all of your wonderful tips and tricks to incorporate herbs into our daily diet. So, after seeing this video I got inspired over the weekend and I got out a pitcher, added my water and proceeded to drop in spearmint, chocolate mint, stevia and pineapple sage leaves to create a flavored water. I think I got carried away with mismatched herbs. I couldn’t really detect any flavor and then when I did, it was weak and like I said mismatched. The only thing I could think of was that I didn’t wait long enough for things to infuse. And this was with cold water correct??? Just a matter of waiting long enough you think??? I really want to have some incredible flavored waters this summer and I feel like I bombed first time out of the gate. Thoughts??? Thanks so much!!!

Thank you, Kami, for this posting and video. It arrived just in time, as we are now having a heatwave. I wasn’t thinking enough about hydration, and now I am going to make a hydration station! I so appreciate your herbal wisdom.

In reply to Grace. Yes, all rose petals are edible, i just try to stay away from the store bought roses that are grown with chemicals. You want organic roses. Enjoy!

Very helpful. I can see this being more fun for kids to drink than a plain glass of water.
Can any type of rose be used? I have a wild rose plant that was growing in my friend’s empty lot.
