Water is good but I want something that has a taste

Submitted by flabberghaster in just_post

But not caffeine or sugar. Something I can just drink a ton of without much downside, like water but more tasty.

For a while i was drinking a lot of those kool aid pods where you squirt the concentrate into a water bottle and it makes sugar free koolaid, but I can't find them in stores anymore.

What's a good alternative?

I guess it's basically the same thing as the kool aid pods, but maybe squash/cordial? Get some with no added sugar/sugar free of course.

yeah i like crystal light which is basically the same idea as the koolaid stuff, my tap water has a pretty funky taste that filters don't really remove very well so i just try to cover it up instead. probably not the healthiest thing i could be consuming but it makes it a lot easier to get 80+ fl oz of water in me a day, i figure it's better than being lowkey dehydrated in a high altitude low humidity environment

Crystal light is sugar free isn't it? What's wrong with it? Probably not ideal but it's not like... Actively bad as far as I know is it?

i mean it Tastes... but there's Nothing in it on the label. so i have to imagine whatever they put in there to make it Taste is actually Something, just in small enough quantities that it legally qualifies as Nothing. i don't know the first thing about food science, i just know that someone told me artificial sweeteners were bad for me as a kid, and whenever i see a blank nutritional label for something that isn't actually exactly just water i get a little suspicious
