GATHERING

My house is a house of hospitality. I say that every day. It establishes a mindset that I am ready when anyone comes to my door ready for a refreshing glass of infused fruit water and conversation. I want to be able to say, "Hey! Come on in!" Stop by anytime. I promise to always have cookies.

If you miss the conversation around the water cooler on the job, you can create your own -- much better -- hangout in your own kitchen or garden space. Who can resist a refreshing glass of water infused with fresh fruit and herbs?!

​

Here are a few of my favorites:

​

​

• Strawberry, Lemon, and Mint

• Lime, Orange, and Kiwi

• Blueberry and Lemon

• Raspberry, Canteloupe and Lime

• Lemon, Ginger and Mint

• Grapefruit and Blueberry

• Cucumber, Celery, Lemon

• Cucumber, Ginger, Lemon

• Kiwi, Blackberry and Mint, and the list goes on...

I saved some 10-oz. beverage bottles a while back to serve these in and picked up some straws for an added touch.
