Lemony Papaya Infused Water
by Tarla Dalal
Sounds simple – just papaya cubes and lemon infused in a bottle of water, but your body is sure to receive a welcome boost from this zesty fluid. Sip on it whenever you are tired and feel your body freshen up.
Since both papaya and lemon are good for your skin, the Lemony Papaya Infused Water also blesses you with a clear complexion. Make sure you remove the lemon slices after 2-3 hours, to prevent the detox drink from turning bitter.
Fruit Infuser Water Bottles are easily available all over India, in online shops as well as the home needs section of supermarkets and retail chains.
If you don’t have a Fruit Infuser Bottle, you can just use any glass jar or pitcher. Put the papaya and lemon in the pitcher along with water and allow them to infuse for 2 to 3 hours. Then, strain the mixture to get detox water.
The papaya can be discarded or more water with fresh lemon slices can be added to make more detox water. Do not use the papaya for more than twice.
