Water flavors

[oldmetlfan]

Just wondering if anyone else is putting aside flavoring for water, Mio, koolaid, etc.
Or do you just plan on drinking plain water 6 months if you have to use your stash.

I have planted mint around the house for flavoring. Gonna look into lemongrass next.

The mio made me sick when i used it often. Not throwing up sick, i just felt weird

We keep tang and Gatorade around for flavor and vitamin C. It can be hard to drink regular water all the time.

Watch out. Be sure to smell them first. They look a lot alike.

Both of them will also take over your garden. Careful what you plant them around.

Since my wife is a coupon queen I have a crap load of 1 use kool aid and instant coffee )same size as kool aid single use) I really like a glass of just water tho. My 17 year old would suffer greatly with out soda so I "forget" to by it sometimes, lmbo

I drink over a gallon of water a day. I put a little lemon juice in every glass.

I keep several flavorings stocked. In the stock room I keep the larger containers of Country Time lemonade and Kool Aid(as well as instant coffee). In my BoB/GHBs I keep the singles of WalMart brand vitamin water powder.

Storing water is great but after a while the water gets flat and even thoough still safe you will need something to make the taste better. As for BoBs, boiling water on the fly disinfects it but sure does nothing for the taste. And then the vitamin waters do hold some B vitamins and some even have a little C(as in prevents scurvey).

One good way to flavor to water and add vitamin C is add some pine needles and make tea. I like it a lot more than my family does, lol
