Required material(s)
- 4 pitchers (3 for flavoured water, 1 for plain water). If the pitchers are transparent, cover them with opaque pieces of cardboard so the campers can’t see the fruit inside (or pour the water in the glasses somewhere the campers can’t see)
- Herbs, fruits, and vegetables for the flavoured water (see note)
- 1 tasting sheet for each camper (see Appendix)
- A glass for each camper
