Because hydration doesn’t have to be boring – or cold.
When winter rolls in, drinking water often falls off the radar. It's cold, you're wrapped in 17 layers, and a steaming cup of literally anything but water just sounds more appealing.
But here's the thing: you still need to hydrate – even when it's chilly. The good news? Water in winter doesn’t have to be cold, bland, or boring. In fact, it can be downright cozy.
Here are 5 deliciously warm (and sneaky) ways to enjoy your water this winter:
1. Hot Lemon Water to Start the Day
Swap your morning coffee (just occasionally – no judgment) for a mug of warm spring water with fresh lemon. It’s:
- Gentle on the tummy
- Packed with vitamin C
- A refreshing way to wake up without the caffeine crash
- Add a slice of ginger or a drizzle of honey for extra warmth and immune support.
2. Make Herbal Tea Your New Bestie
There’s a world beyond English Breakfast. From calming chamomile to zesty peppermint or floral rose blends, herbal teas are a fantastic way to hydrate with flavour.
Pro tip: Using spring water makes a noticeable difference – your tea will taste smoother, cleaner, and more vibrant (goodbye chlorine aftertaste!).
Bonus: If you’ve got a Summer Springs hot/cold dispenser, you’ve got tea on tap. No kettle required.
3. Soup’s On – And It Totally Counts
Yes, soup is mostly water – and it absolutely counts toward your hydration goals.
Make a batch of veggie soup, miso broth, or chicken noodle and sip your way through the day.
Make it with spring water for a cleaner base and better flavour from the get-go.
4. Warm Fruit Water = Game Changer
Add frozen berries, sliced apple and cinnamon, or orange and clove to hot water for a naturally flavoured warm drink. It’s like a hug in a mug – without sugar or caffeine.
Pop it in your favourite thermos and sip throughout the day.
5. Upgrade Your Setup – and Your Habits
If filling a glass feels like a chore, change the way water shows up in your space:
- A ceramic water dispenser in the kitchen feels comforting and classic
- A hot/cold cooler means no excuses – water is always ready, just how you like it
- Having it visible = drinking more, effortlessly
When hydration is easy (and cozy), it becomes something you actually look forward to.
Water in winter doesn’t have to be boring. From herbal teas to warm fruit infusions and soup made with spring water, there are so many delicious ways to stay hydrated.
