Default Flavored water?

I don't know where I should put this. Is there a recipe spot for beverages?

Anyway, my daughters love, love, love the flavored bottled water but I try to limit them because of the artificial sweeteners. I split one 500mL between 3 of them and no more than 3 bottles a week.

Besides adding lemon or lime to regular water does anybody make their own flavored waters? (such as orange, strawberry, or raspberry) If you do would you be so kind as to share with me what you do please.

I make iced teas from the celestial seasons teas. They are 100% herbal, I noticed that some of the other brands add artificial flavors to their teas My favorites so far are lemon zinger, peach, raspberry, and I'm going to try the blueberry next

btw: I use 10 bags per gallon of water, you could make it stronger if you like.

I should add that the teas are slightly sweet and don't need additional sweetners IMHO.

I second the celestial seasons teas. I love the peach and all the berries. I also don't add sweateners. They have a naturally flavorfull sweating taste. Not sure that's a good sentence but I'ts the best way to convey what I want to say. LOL

I like to buy green tea and mix a couple of bags with the flovored ones just to get some of the goodness from green tea.
