I bought this from Ball for my mason jars. It's very handy. I use frozen organic fruit in mine.

Stay naturally hydrated with the Ball® Mason Jar Infuser. Fitting perfectly on any wide mouth mason jar, the stylish and sturdy lid features a BPA-free hanging basket to infuse your favorite fresh flavors into water, teas, juices, and more. An included easy-sip lid makes it easy to take your creations on the go. The Ball Mason Jar Infuser is perfect for use with fresh lemon, lime, mint, cucumber, and many other fresh ingredients.

re pH -- I use a product called RepHresh and take a probiotic daily to help with pH issues. Most of it is related to water aerobics and being in pool water 6x a week.

Update: Curbs my appetite too. @ 4:00 PM, I had to force myself to eat something. Was just "fasting" all day on the cocktail. {#emotions_dlg.thumbup}

Well, I tried lemon juice in my water.I have a problem with fructose like people have with lactose, so I can't just drink lemon and water. I have to add sucrose to counter the fructose so I can digest it, so no simple fruit water for me. I like plain water anyway, so no problem there.

I may make some lemon aide and try that since I will use sugar(sucrose) instead of artificial sweetener. Oh well.....I would love to be able to have fruit again since that was my sweet tooth treat.

Lemons are acid - lowers ph. How can that make your body more alkaline - higher ph?

I buy bags of key limes solely to put in my water. YUM. I considered buying one of those infusing pitchers

Sounds refreshing, I just read where cucumber, fresh ginger, spearmint, and lime is good in water. I also know that a teaspoon of organic apple cider vinegar in water is good also. Have fun with all the combo's of infused water.

Update: What a relief! My bloating has disappeared. THAT was painful. This morning's cocktail is 1/2 lemon, 4 strawberries and a pinch of Himalayan salt.

{#emotions_dlg.rolleyes}

what is Himalayan salt?

I drink lemon/lime water all the time. Sometimes I put mint and or ginger ice cubes in with it. Always refreshing for me.

Glad it seems to be working for you.

I don't know -- I read it on youngandraw website. I'm no expert. I just googled "how to make body alkaline", or something like that.
