    Sour Cherry Antioxidant Water is infused with fresh squeezed cherries and a touch of lemon. A refreshingly tart drink.

    Tall glass filled with water infused with sour cherries and lemon slices.

    My sour cherry tree was abundant with beautiful red cherries this year. Now what does one do with all those cherries? I find them a tad too tart to eat, but they are very tasty baked in a Sour Cherry Cobbler or made into a Sour Cherry Sauce.

    Sour cherries also make a very heathy, refreshing infused water. These antioxidant loaded cherries contain phytochemical (diseases-fighting plant compounds) including anthocyanin, quercetin (a powerful antioxidant), and vitamin C. Tart cherries are also believed to have anti-inflammatory benefits, reduce pain from gout and arthritis and heart health benefits. Sour cherries, also known as tart cherries are an impressive SUPER FOOD! Fill up a pitcher of Sour Cherry Antioxidant Water and sip throughout the day.
