Healthy Strawberry - Lemon Water, a refreshing alternative to bottled water Flavored water is a healthy alternative to other beverages. By making your own flavored water, you reduce the amount of sugar you consume from sodas, juices, and other drinks. In addition, you also reduce the amount of caffeine you consume by replacing just a few glasses of water for caffeinated beverages, including coffee and tea. Before adding citrus fruit, be sure to remove the pith, the white part of the rind to keep your water from tasting bitter.
