For the most part, these water recipes involve using additives like Crystal Light, Starburst water mixers, and flavored syrups. You can determine if adding those items is for you and your water needs, but on TikTok you can find everything from Caramel Apple Water to Jolly Rancher water. But if that’s not your #watertok vibe, there are other options.

You can chase down the endless combinations available with powdered flavorings, syrups, or even juices, but you can also make water recipes from scratch with items already in your refrigerator or produce basket.

Try mixing lemon, cucumber, and strawberries in a water bottle and let it sit for a few hours before tasting. You could also mix oranges and basil, or simply a stalk of mint if you want a fresh sip.

Join the WaterTok movement to drink more water and get creative with your favorite fruits, herbs, vegetables, and syrups! There are limitless combinations for you to try.
