Don't get me wrong, I do lemon water all the time, sometimes
two pitchers a night when I'm working the restaurant. No sugar,
heavy on the juice!

It's just that the bottled variety have some very good berry,
cherry, grape, etc. flavors out there, a bit off the beaten
path but the stuff tastes great.

The color-free thing is just a sidebar gripe about the Crystal
Light. I just can't get that to taste as good, and yes I've had
some extremely diluted OJ in my life, probably not a whole lot
more flavored than what you're suggesting. It all works, to a
certain extent. I'm just on a hunt for the other fruits.
