On hot summer days, tastes good with fruit and herbs flavoured water particularly well. However, as long as the ingredients in the pitcher of water?
Freiburg (dpa/tmn) – lemon or ginger slices, fresh berries, watermelon or mint in the choice of ingredients for the summer water carafe, the imagination has no limits. In warm temperatures-infused water with fruit, vegetables or herbs especially refreshing – and encouraged to drink plenty of.
But how long the ingredients keep in the decanter?
“You can pour the day, always fresh water, but I would not keep the water carafe on the night – not in the fridge,” says Dagmar von Cramm, Nutritionist and author based in Freiburg, Germany.
ginger and lemon slices were the exception: The were a little longer and would make on the second day Aroma. Berries and herbs, however, should not be used any longer.
“The mud can be suggests berries and puree – for example, for a salad dressing in the evening or the yogurt the next Morning,” Cramm.
in addition to the optical impression of the ingredients in the pitcher of water, there is a fact, whether the drink is in the fridge or on the table. “In a relatively warm summer temperatures is not due to the fruits of all this concern, but more because of the water, because the developed germs,” says von Cramm.
It is therefore useful to put the carafe during the day from time to Time cold or to use special cooling carafes.
