If you’re seeking delightful, easy-to-make, non-alcoholic Christmas mocktails to enjoy with friends and family, you’re in luck! The secret to a perfect mocktail is not just in the recipe but also in the quality of water used. And what better way to ensure top-notch water quality than using a Billi water system?

According to the Institute of Medicine, the recommended amount of water per day for a healthy adult is approximately 9­–13 cups. This does vary depending on a few different factors (i.e. gender, the weather, how active you are and your health) but overall this is a good guide as to how much we should be aiming for.

Many of us however find it difficult to drink this amount of water in a day. But, the good news is that there are ways to make drinking water easier, and more enticing. One of these is adding flavour to your water. Below are our recommendations on what to add to water for flavour along with what to add to water for hydration.

Billi has been at the forefront of the instant filtered boiling and chilled water systems industry for over 30 years. All our water filtration systems come with an assurance of quality, innovation & sustainability and are proudly Australian-designed & made to strict quality standards in our state-of-the-art facilities in Melbourne.

To help increase your daily water intake and maintain your health & wellbeing, here is what to add to water to make it taste better if you’re looking for healthy, low-sugar options as well as what to add to water for hydration

 

What To Add To Water For Flavor

Adding flavour to water is a great way to entice you to drink more water. But you want to be mindful of what you’re adding in. Adding flavour with lots of sugar or unhealthy unnatural ingredients could counteract the benefits of the water you’re drinking. But firstly, let’s talk about the quality of the water you’re drinking as not all water is equal.

Drinking filtered water will not only improve the taste & odour but will also remove things like chlorine, parasitic cysts such as cryptosporidium & giardia. Once you know you’ve got great-tasting, high-quality water – you can now mix things up and start introducing flavour.

Our water filtration systems use premium filters that filter all these things mentioned above, out of your water – giving you the best quality drinking water. And, what’s even better is that you can have instant boiling, chilled, still and sparkling water on tap. This makes your filtered drinking water much more accessible and you can have fun trying out different flavour variations with boiling water, sparkling water, chilled, or whatever your preference is that day!

Recommended Flavourful Additions To Water

Here are our recommendations on what to add to water to make it taste better whilst ensuring what you’re putting into your body is just the good stuff:

 

 

What To Add To Water For Hydration

When your body loses more water than you’re taking in, this can cause dehydration. If you’re dehydrated or need to encourage more effective hydration, electrolytes (minerals and salts including potassium, sodium, and calcium) are what to add to water for hydration.

Recommended Hydration Additives To Water

When it comes to electrolytes, what to add to water for hydration can include:

Filtered water systems help to remove things like chemicals, infections, minerals and cysts which can, at times, be found in tap water and could lead to health issues if consumed. Filtered water systems can also reduce rates of illness or other health complications that bacteria or pollutants (present in drinking water) may cause.

Here at Billi we’ve been designing and manufacturing premium instant filtered water systems for over 25 years. In the article below we use our knowledge to address the question, ‘Is filtered water healthier?’.

 

Is Filtered Tap Water Good for You?

Ideally any health concern with Australian drinking water should be addressed by water suppliers. However, as consumer magazine Choice acknowledges, this may not always be possible and some households will need to install a filtration system.

 

 

What Kinds of Filters Are Healthier?

Carbon filters are the most effective in removing a range of contaminants but not all carbon filters are equal. Make sure you choose a filter that applies a multistage filtration system using activated carbon fibre with minimal bonding agents. Avoid conventional carbon filters which use bonding agents that decrease the surface area available for filtering.

 

Is Filtered Water Bad for You?

There’s no doubt that water is an essential nutrient for human health, and having easy access to delicious filtered drinking water can help to ensure your regular consumption. For this reason, we believe that filtered water is better for you.

Is filtered water healthier? Filtered water can reduce a wide range of chemical and biological contaminants, as well as improve the taste and smell of your drinking water, encouraging you and your family to drink more.

As summer rolls in with its longer days and balmy nights, it’s the perfect time to host those much-awaited gatherings, and what better way to make them memorable than with delightful big-batch cocktails? Whether it’s a casual backyard barbecue or a glamorous New Year’s Eve party, serving up refreshing, easy-to-make drinks is a fun and time-saving solution to let you focus on the party more. With the innovative technology of Billi’s filtered water systems, batching cocktails is easier than ever.

 

Crafting the Perfect Batch

Big-batch cocktails are the secret weapon for any host. They allow you to enjoy the party instead of playing bartender all night. The key to a successful batch is balance – inoffensive flavours and not too much alcohol so the batch gets enjoyed as long as possible. Think of spritzes and punches as your templates; they are versatile, easy to mix, and always a crowd-pleaser.

 

The Spritz: A Refreshing Staple

A classic spritz is a blend of something bubbly, something bitter, and something citrusy. For a summer twist, try a Peach & Thyme Spritz. Mix together peach nectar or schnapps, a dash of thyme-infused simple syrup, and a splash of Aperol. Top it off with Billi’s sparkling filtered water for that extra fizz. Serve over ice in large jugs for a refreshing drink that’s as visually appealing as it is delicious.

 

 

Punch: The Ultimate Party Companion

Punches are the unsung heroes of the party drinks world. A well-made punch can transport your guests to tropical paradises or Mediterranean coasts. For a crowd-pleaser, try a Tropical Sparkling Punch. Blend pineapple juice, coconut water, a touch of lime juice, and a hint of rum for that tropical vibe. Use Billi’s chilled filtered water to dilute to taste or Billi’s instant boiling water options to brew tea-based punches. Garnish with slices of pineapple and mango for an exotic touch.

 

Easy on you and the Environment

Incorporating Billi’s eco-friendly technology in your party planning isn’t just convenient, with Billi’s under-bench water systems, you’re choosing an energy-efficient, space-saving solution that reduces the need for bottled water and minimises your carbon footprint.

Billi’s water systems also offer unparalleled customisation options. Whether you need boiling water for hot cocktails on a chilly evening or chilled water for a scorching summer day, Billi has you covered. Moreover, our sparkling water dispensers can be adjusted for the right level of carbonation for your tastes and our taps come in a wide range of finishes.
