What you pour into your glass matters just as much as what you put on your plate.

How to make these homemade drinks part of your daily routine
These homemade drinks are simple to prepare, using just fruit, spices and water. The idea is to keep them to hand so you can swap them for fizzy drinks and shop-bought fruit juices, which are often packed with sugar. Make up your jug in advance and keep it in the fridge: it’ll be ready whenever you’re thirsty.
Prefer juices? Blended pineapple or tomato juice (choose one with no added sugar) are good options. Mix up the recipes to suit your mood and the season, and prioritise organic fruit, as most of it is used with the skin on.
