Making Flavored Water Yourself: The Best Recipes with Teaballs

Anyone who wants to drink enough daily knows the problem: plain water quickly gets boring. Flavored water is the clever solution – fresh, sugar-free, and full of flavor. With the right ingredients, a glass of water suddenly becomes a small moment of indulgence. We'll show you how to do it easily here – with specific recipes and a practical tip from Switzerland.

Why flavored water is so popular

More and more people are looking for flavored water without sugar – a healthy alternative to sweetened beverages like iced tea or soft drinks from the shelves at Migros or Coop. Industrially produced flavored water often contains additives, artificial flavors, or hidden sugar. Homemade flavored water, on the other hand, is natural, inexpensive, and customizable.

3 simple recipes for flavored water

These recipes work with both cold tap water and still mineral water. For all variations: the longer the water infuses, the more intense the water flavor will be.

1. Lemon-Ginger-Mint

• 1 slice organic lemon
• 2–3 slices fresh ginger
• A few mint leaves
• 500 ml cold water

Put everything together in a carafe, chill for at least 30 minutes, and enjoy. Refreshing, invigorating, and completely calorie-free.

2. Cucumber-Lemongrass

• 3–4 cucumber slices
• 1 stalk of lemongrass, lightly bruised
• 500 ml water

This combination has a slightly Asian taste and is super refreshing – ideal for hot summer days.

3. Berry-Basil

• A handful of raspberries or strawberries, lightly crushed
• 3–4 basil leaves
• 500 ml water

Fruity and aromatic – a real favorite for anyone who likes flavored water with a subtle sweetness, without adding sugar.

The Teaballs Trick: More Flavor, Less Effort

It's even easier with Teaballs: these small pressed tea spheres from Switzerland slowly dissolve in water and release a delicate water aroma – hot or cold. Simply put a Teaball in your bottle or carafe, fill with water, and you're done. No loose leaves, no strainer, no fuss.

Popular varieties include peppermint, lemon-ginger, or hibiscus-berry – perfect for anyone who loves flavored water but doesn't have time for elaborate recipes. Whether in the office, during sports, or on the go: Teaballs fit in any bag.

Tips for even more enjoyment

• Chill to infuse: Flavored water develops the best taste after 1–2 hours in the refrigerator.
• Use ice cubes: For immediate enjoyment, simply add ice cubes.
• Glass instead of PET: Water tastes better and is more sustainable in a glass container.
• Vary: Combine different Teaballs varieties for your own creations.

Making your own flavored water is neither expensive nor complicated – it just takes a little creativity and the right ingredients. With Teaballs from Switzerland, you can do it in no time, completely without sugar or artificial additives.
