Seriously Refreshing Soda Alternatives

Nothing soothes on a hot summer day like a cold drink. But finding something that is both refreshing and healthy can be a challenge. Thankfully we have more options that have less sugar, no artificial sweeteners, and are fortified with ingredients that benefit our health; but these can be expensive. The next time you’re looking for a cold drink, consider making your own at home. This could be as simple as some fruit infused water, freshly juiced fruit mixed with seltzer, or herbs muddled in tea.

Try some of these recipes yourself, or use them as inspiration to create your own.
