All you need is a 2-litre glass jar, fruits, and vegetables of your choice, and filtered water. You have to decide which fruits and/or vegetables you want to use, soak the fruits and /or vegetables in a baking soda solution, slice them, and place them in a jar. Fill the jar with filtered water, cover it with a lid, or a cling wrap, and leave it in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning, strain the water, put it in glass bottles, and keep it refrigerated until you drink it.
