7 DAY INFUSED WATER CHALLENGE DAY 1 - PINEAPPLE JALAPENO WATER

I did an Infused Water recipe last week and ever since I have wanted to do more of them. Drinking the Citrus Cucumber water was so refreshing I was wondering where it has been all my life! Infusing your water with fruits, vegetables, spices and even edible flowers makes drinking water fun and wholesome. These ingredients will give your water a sweet and refreshing taste. When infusing water, the longer you let it rest the stronger the flavour will be. For Citrus fruits with peels on however, you want to drink the water within a few hours because it tends to get bitter. You can reuse the fruits for more batches but not more than three times.Now I have decides to have a 7 Day infused water challenge where I will make and post different infused water combinations. The first one is Pineapple and Jalapeno Pepper Water. Get your sweet tangy flavour from the Pineapples and a hot kick flavour from the Jalapeno. You can remove the seeds from the Jalapeno if you want a milder chili taste. I will do the seven days infused water challenge and give you my findings on these flavourful waters
