These 6 simple recipes are a great way to mix things up! Ready to give them a go?
My homemade drinks: strawberry & lemon
This recipe is one of the simplest homemade drinks for staying well hydrated every day. Strawberries give it a lovely colour and a tangy sweetness.
Ingredients
To prepare this drink, you’ll need the zest of one lemon, about ten strawberries and one litre of water.

My homemade drinks: pomelo & green tea
Pomelo is your tasty ally! Combined with green tea, it helps you start the day with a zesty drink and add variety to what you drink.
Ingredients
You’ll need one pomelo, 20 grams of green tea and 200 ml of water.
Recipe
Start by squeezing the pomelo to extract the juice. Bring the water to a boil, then steep the green tea to make an infusion. Add the pomelo juice and stir. You can also add a little honey or a squeeze of lemon. Enjoy it warm in the morning, whenever you feel like it.
My homemade drinks: pineapple & dandelion
You probably already know that pineapple is ideal for a fruity, indulgent drink, and it’s also enjoyed thanks to the bromelain it contains. Here, you’ll pair it with a plant known for its use in infusions: dandelion!

Simply bring the water to a boil, then add the pineapple and the plant. Let it boil for 20 minutes, strain and it’s ready! You can enjoy this drink as your afternoon snack.

How to fit these drinks into your daily routine
These homemade drinks don’t replace water. They’re simply an enjoyable way to drink more and to steer clear of fizzy drinks and sugary shop-bought lemonades. They fit into an overall balanced lifestyle, with a varied diet and regular exercise. For orange peel skin, try a regular massage routine such as the pinch-and-roll technique described below.
Pick the recipes you like best and switch between them as you please: pomelo & green tea in the morning, pineapple & dandelion as an afternoon snack, and sugar-free lemonade or strawberry & mint water during the day. If you’re taking any medication or have any medical concerns, ask your GP for advice.
