Water is the best thirst quencher, but sometimes we want a little bit extra in terms of variety of flavour. Delicious fruit juice juices or tea-based drinks provide refreshing alternatives to regular drinks. We share with you mouth-watering drinks which guarantee something for everybody as occasional flavoursome highlights.
Mouth watering water based drinks, tea and juices
Unsweetened fruit infusions or herbal teas are also ideal thirst-quenchers. These drinks have the advantage of providing you hydration with varied refreshing flavours.
Fruit juices taste delicious and provide vitamins,minerals and phytonutrients. However, they also contain calories in the form of natural fructose or added sugar. For that special freshness kick, and to save calories, it is recommended that you mix the juices with water or go for unsweetened /100 % fruit juices.
Are you looking for recipe ideas for refreshing drinks? Our drink recommendations can be occasionally enjoyed in the place of traditional thirst quenchers such as water and the like. They are delicious alternatives and bring a bit of excitement to your daily drinking habits.
