It’s official: summer is upon us. This special time of year is further improved with extended hours of sunshine, time outdoors, and delicious ice-cold drinks. While your family is venturing outside, to enjoy trips to the beach, picnics, and more, you might be looking for ways to shake things up. Beat the heat with a twist, using filtered water to whip up four fun summer drinks.

The Best Summer Drinks Use Filtered Water

Filtered water provides the best foundation for crafting drinks all year long, especially in the summer months. By using a few simple ingredients, you will be well on your way to enjoying a relaxing drink by the pool, hydrating to the max. Just as you would with any recipe, you must build your drink from the bottom up. Why should you choose filtered water over tap, fridge, or bottled water? Water purification systems remove contaminants and impurities such as:

• Bacteria
• Viruses
• Chlorine

Not only do these contaminants affect the quality of your water, but they also influence scent and flavor. Chlorine has one of the biggest influences on taste from the rest, but it can completely ruin a drink recipe. If water filtration is one of your top concerns, a purifying system can offer you the best of both worlds.

With features designed to enhance your purification system, a Waterdrop RO system offers increased capacity. For homeowners looking to remove TDS, salt, nitrates, chlorine, sodium, and more, a tankless Reverse Osmosis system from Waterdrop provides seamless operation.

4 Drink Recipes for Summer

London Fog
Those of you who enjoy a nice mug of Earl Grey tea might find enjoyment in a glass of an iced London Fog. It only takes about 15 minutes, for individuals of any recipe level, before you will be sipping on iced Earl Gray.

• 2/3 Cup Filtered Water
• 1 Bag Earl Grey Tea
• Ice (made from filtered water)
• 1/3 Teaspoon Vanilla
• 1 Teaspoon Raw Sugar
• ½ Cup Milk or Cream

Boil your water and steep one individual bag of Earl Grey tea for 5 minutes. Froth your milk while you wait, in order to save time. Once it’s done brewing, add your sugar (or preferred sweetener), vanilla, and ice. Add everything to one glass, and enjoy.

Cold Brew Coffee
The best base for any sort of coffee is filtered water. Regardless of how you enjoy brewing coffee, always remember to start with high-quality coffee, and filtered water for the best results. Cold brew coffee has been made for centuries and offers a refreshing twist on America’s favorite morning beverage.

• 12 Tablespoons Coarse Ground Coffee
• 32 Ounces Filtered Water
• Sugar (as desired)

Begin by preparing a cup of coffee, either with a drip machine or French Press. Add sugar, allow it to cool, and transfer it into a glass quart jar (or another storage container). Set it in your refrigerator, and you’ll be enjoying cold brew coffee within 12 hours.

Fruit Punch Infused Water
Infusing water with fresh fruit is a great way to boost hydration and nutrition intake, without adding unnecessary dyes and sugar to your diet. Start with filtered water, and opt for farm-grown or organic fruit for the best results.

• 64 Ounces Filtered Water
• 4 Strawberries (sliced)
• 1 Kiwi (peeled and sliced)

Take a fridge safe container, and add your fruit before topping off with filtered water. Set the mix in your fridge for 12 hours to allow the fruit to infuse into the water.  The fruit will have imparted nutrients and flavor into the filtered water for your enjoyment.

Strawberry Lemonade
Lemonade is an American classic, especially during the dog days of summer. Transform this favorite drink with filtered water, and infused strawberries, and you’ll be remaking this recipe for years to come.

• 32 Ounces Filtered Water
• 3 Lemons (juiced)
• ½ Pint of Strawberries (sliced)
• 1 ½ Cup of Raw Sugar

Once you’ve juiced three lemons, combine in a fridge-safe container with sugar. Stir well, and add sliced strawberries to the lemonade. Allow it to sit in the fridge for a few hours, to better allow strawberries to infuse, and viola!
