It’s August and it is HOT!!!

As the temperature rises, it is so important to drink plenty of water to stay well hydrated.  

There are so many beverage options available but water is the healthiest option because it does not contain the added sugar found in most other beverages. 

Make water drinking fun with this Infused Water Recipe that your family will be sure to enjoy!
