Sick of drinking water? Add your favorite herbal tea bags to a pitcher of cold water in the refrigerator and let it brew for about an hour so it’s ready whenever you are. In my house, it’s the go-to beverage all year long.

And our bodies generally don’t want.

And everyone always loves it, kids included.
