DIY Infused Water Station
I have been spotting so many inspiring infused water and ice cube blog posts lately, that I decided to surprise the girls one morning with a DIY infused water station…
After purchasing these jars, these lids, and these straws—I set-up the following ingredients on our kitchen table in order to entice the girls…
- Strawberries
- Cucumbers
- Lemons
- Limes
- Rosemary
- Lavender
- Basil
- Sage
- Mint
Then the fun began… They really enjoyed creating their fruity, herbal concoctions. After they had come up with a variety of delicious combinations, we put the lids on the jars and let them sit overnight in the refrigerator—well, we may have tried a few sips…
Then the next day we had them with our lunch and they were ABSOLUTELY delicious! What I love most about making the infused waters in advance, in the little (8 oz) jars with lids, is that they were ready and accessible for the next couple of days. We served them on playdates, during meals, and anytime we were thirsty throughout the day. They were as handy and delicious as juice boxes—without the added sugar. Yay!
More Infused Goodness…

Okay….Not completely related, but how do you do your lids? I have a dog that keeps eating all the cups with lids, so I have been looking for ideas on how to put a lid and straw on a jelly jar. I love this idea and can’t wait to try it.
I see. You ordered them from Etsy.
This is a fabulous idea! How did you get the holes in the lids? I can’t wait to try them. YUM! Thank you for sharing.
