I don’t know about you but during the winter months I really
struggle to drink enough water. The temptation of warming up with a hot cup of
tea or coffee is far more appealing than the thought of swigging a cold glass of
water. During winter dehydration can cause dry skin, chapped lips, tiredness,
headaches and coughs so it’s really important to make sure you get enough H2O.
Robinsons have created a selection of seasonal recipes using
their range of eleven delicious real fruit squash flavours to inspire us all to drink more
water this winter, and my family and I have been trying them out. Here are my
two favourite recipes to keep you hydrated AND warm through the colder season,
with no added sugar! Yum!
SPICED ORANGE
You’ll need: Robinsons Orange, 4 cloves, 1 orange sliced,
ground ginger
1. Pierce 4 of the orange slices with a clove.
2. Put 200ml of Robinsons Orange and a pinch of ground ginger
into a jug and top up with 600ml of warm water from the kettle.
3. Allow the flavours to infuse for a few minutes before
serving with the slices of orange.
MULLED APPLE & BLACKCURRANT
You’ll need: Robinsons Apple & Blackcurrant, 4 cloves, 4
black peppercorns, 2 star anise, 4 cinnamon sticks, ground allspice
1. In a pan dilute 200ml Robinsons Apple & Blackcurrant
with 800ml water.
2. Add the cloves, peppercorns, star anise and 1/2 teaspoon of
ground allspice and warm gently for 3 minutes.
3. Leave to infuse for 3 minutes before serving with a cinnamon
stick to stir with.
What’s your favourite way to stay hydrated?
