5 Tips and Tricks to Jazz Up Your Coffee

For many people, having "a nice cup of joe" is how they start their day. This is how they jumpstart their morning and get their selves ready to "conquer their daily obligations." We think it's safe to say that coffee is thought of as a required daily beverage for some people, but what can make your coffee taste even better? The best water provider at the Lake of the Ozarks is here to give you a few tips and tricks to jazz up your coffee. If you really want to make your coffee taste better, call Culligan at the Lake of the Ozarks. Just the simple change of water could be the solution you've been searching for.

5 Tips and Tricks to Jazz Up Your Coffee

Add butter

It is known that adding butter to your morning dose of coffee can boost energy and give you a unique taste to enjoy.

Add maple syrup.

If you are more of a sweet coffee drinker, try adding maple syrup or maple sugar. Stir it in and enjoy your sweet, delicious cup of coffee.

Add coconut milk.

If you are lactose intolerant but would like to still sweeten up your coffee somehow, try adding coconut milk. The texture can be fairly close to whole milk, just use it sparingly as it can contain a hefty amount of fat. Coconut milk also provides a good amount of Vitamin C, E, and B.

Add vanilla extract.

Many people prefer sweet coffee, but if you'd prefer to try something different than the traditional dose of creamer and sugar, consider vanilla extract.

Add ice cream.

Who doesn't love ice cream? While it may sound unconventional to add ice cream to your coffee, this can be a great way to cool it down on a warm day and turn it into a fun, dessert drink.

Make Your Coffee Taste Better with Culligan Water!

Culligan® water treatment systems change everything - from laundry and showering to drinking and cooking. Having quality water in your home can make all the difference when making your coffee. While Culligan at the Lake of the Ozarks has been solving the area's toughest water problems for over four decades, we have the support of Culligan International that actually invented the water softening process in 1936. Together, you can count on us for the finest water treatment equipment and service. Culligan’s only business is water treatment. Therefore, if you are looking to not only improve the taste of your coffee, but your tea, soup, or anything else that may require you to mix in water - then, Culligan is here for you! To make an appointment with your local Culligan man, call 573-346-5221 today.

Possible Problems with Your Dog’s Drinking Water

Our dogs are like family. If we have quality drinking water, why shouldn’t they? Dogs are drinking less than quality water more than you might think and it could lead to health problems you don’t want for your furry friend. The good news is there is a solution to this problem. Your quality water company at the Lake of the Ozarks is here to give you a few possible examples of problems that could be associated with your dog’s water. To get quality water for your four legged family member, call Culligan at the Lake of the Ozarks.

Possible Problems with Your Dog's Drinking Water

Having quality drinking water on a day to day basis is a must for your dog's health. Without water, your dog could get dehydrated, which could lead to serious health issues for your dog. Water makes up 80 percent of your dog’s body. Your dog may be dehydrated if you notice one of the following signs:

• Depression
• Sunken eyes
• Dry mouth
• Lethargy
• Loss of appetite

Too often dogs are getting water from the wrong sources and preventing your dog from reaching water from these types of sources can improve their health.

Poor Sources for Your Dog’s Drinking Water

• Toilet

Keep your toilet closed! Not only is the water in there bad for your dog, but if your dog gets stuck there is a possibility he or she could drown.

• Dirty puddles

You clearly wouldn’t want to drink from a dirty puddle so why should your dog? There could be all sorts of bacteria and germs in that water that your dog could be assuming.

• Tap water

Your tap water could have chemicals in it that are harmful to your dog. To see what’s in your tap water, try our free water test. To schedule a free water analysis with your Culligan Man, visit http://culliganpro.com/free-in-home-water-test.

• The Lake

Most people know not to drink lake water, but your dog doesn’t necessarily know. The lake could contain many harmful bacteria that could make your four legged friend sick, so it’s best to keep him or her away from the lake water.

• Garden Hose

The garden hose is using your tap water. See above for why your dog shouldn’t drink tap water.

• Public dog bowls at dog parks

You never know what dogs have drank out of the public dog bowl at the dog park. They could have been sick and spread their germs/illness through that bowl a number of times. Carry a spare source of water for your dog when you go to the dog park, bring a portable dog bowl and a bottle of quality drinking water.

Looking to Bring Quality Water into Your Home?

Culligan has just the thing! Culligan offers a variety of contemporary, stylish cooler designs. Culligan Coolers are the most convenient way to have Reverse Osmosis drinking water for your home or office. Lake of the Ozarks Culligan offers a variety of options based on your needs and budget.

Testing Wells to Safeguard Your Water

Consider testing your well for pesticides, organic chemicals, and heavy metals before you use it for the first time. Test private water supplies annually for nitrate and coliform bacteria to detect contamination problems early.

Household plumbing contains lead pH, lead, copper

Radon in indoor air or region is radon rich Radon

Corrosion of pipes, plumbing Corrosion, pH, lead

Nearby areas of intensive agriculture Nitrate, pesticides, coliform bacteria

Coal or other mining operations nearby Metals, pH, corrosion

Have Quality Water With Your Christmas Meal

Culligan at the Lake of the Ozarks hopes everyone had a HAPPY Thanksgiving. Before you know it, Christmas will be here. Our quality water company at the Lake of the Ozarks wants everyone to be able to have quality drinking water with their Christmas meal. You will often find yourself cooking with water, so it's important to have quality water in the kitchen. Here are a couple of GREAT Christmas recipes we found that contain water. We hope you enjoy them!

Have Quality Water With Your Christmas Meal

Source: http://makinglemonadeblog.com/best-christmas-punch-recipe-santas-little-helper/

BEST CHRISTMAS PUNCH RECIPE: SANTA'S LITTLE HELPER!

1 bottle of champagne (OR use a lemon-lime soda like Sierra Mist to make it non-alcoholic)
1 bottle of Cranberry Juice Blend
1 cup of sugar (try to use superfine sugar if you can find it)
1 c. frozen lemonade concentrate (thawed)
1 c. frozen orange juice concentrate (thawed)
ice
water (for amount, see below)
garnishes: lemon slices, cranberries, fresh rosemary sprigs

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine the champagne and the cranberry juice blend. Add the sugar, and stir vigorously until combined. Add the thawed concentrates, stir. If you want a strong punch you can leave as is and just add some ice. You may wish to dilute with up to three cups of water (add water to taste) depending on your personal preference. Remember adding ice will also dilute the punch a bit so don't go overboard on both ice and water. :) Add your garnishes-- a bag of fresh cranberries, lemon slices (wash the lemons well if including the peels), perhaps a sprig of fresh rosemary or two for a fresh kick.

** Note: You can also make this ahead of time-- simply add all ingredients EXCEPT the garnishes and bubbly (either champagne or soda). Refrigerate for a few hours and add the remaining ingredients when guests arrive. **

Who doesn't love a good Christmas stew?

Have you ever wondered why you keep getting headaches throughout the day or why you just feel unenergetic most of the time? If this sounds like you, consider drinking more water. Many people probably don't realize they are not drinking enough quality water at the Lake of the Ozarks each day. Culligan at the Lake of the Ozarks found this fantastic article by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention that we think may help people to understand when they may need to drink more water and how they should go about doing so.

Getting enough water every day is important for your health. Healthy people meet their fluid needs by drinking when thirsty and drinking with meals. Most of your fluid needs are met through the water and beverages you drink. However, you can get some fluids through the foods that you eat. For example, broth soups and foods with high water content such as celery, tomatoes, or melons can contribute to fluid intake.

Water helps your body:

Keep your temperature normal
Lubricate and cushion joints
Protect your spinal cord and other sensitive tissues
Get rid of wastes through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements

Your body needs more water when you are:

In hot climates
More physically active
Running a fever
Having diarrhea or vomiting

If you think you are not getting enough water, these tips may help:

Carry a water bottle for easy access when you are at work of running errands.
Freeze some freezer safe water bottles. Take one with you for ice-cold water all day long.
Choose water instead of sugar-sweetened beverages. This can also help with weight management. Substituting water for one 20-ounce sugar sweetened soda will save you about 240 calories. For example, during the school day students should have access to drinking water, giving them a healthy alternative to sugar-sweetened beverages.

Choose water when eating out. Generally, you will save money and reduce calories.
Add a wedge of lime or lemon to your water. This can help improve the taste and help you drink more water than you usually do.

What Type Of Water Should Be Used When Preparing Baby Formula?

Congratulations! You've just had a new baby and you have decided to feed your new bundle of joy baby formula. It's important to know that the chemicals and minerals that are often found in usual drinking water may not be right for your baby at such a young age. Culligan at the Lake of the Ozarks is here to give you a few guidelines to follow when trying to ensure your baby stays healthy while drinking formula.

Guidelines to Follow When Trying to Ensure Your Baby Stays Healthy While Drinking Formula

Decide on the Right Water to Use with Baby Formula

Before you decide on what type of water to mix into your baby's formula, consult with your doctor. Also, if you are on a public water system, you may be able to with your local water utility company to see how much fluoride is in the water.

Water You Can Use

Bottled water (just for babies)

There is water out there that is specifically designed to use with baby formula. Of Course, this type of water follows much stricter guidelines.

Tap water

Depending on what are you live in, tap water can be perfectly safe to use. Again, consult with your doctor first before deciding on the water to use with your baby's formula.

Bottled water

If you do choose to use bottled water, be sure you make sure there are no additives. Bottled water may not be sterile, so you may have to boil it, just like you'd boil tap water.

How to Add Water to Your Baby's Formula

When you add water to your baby's formula, be sure to follow the directions that are on the package of the formula. The basic rule of thumb for liquid-concentrate or powdered formulas can just be to:

1. Start with the cold tap water. Let the water run for about 2 minutes to get cold. (The colder the water is, the lower the amount of contaminants you may have in the water.)

2. Pour the cold water into a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Let it boil for about a minute, then let the water cool down.

3. Once the water is cooled, you may use it to make the formula.

4. Mix the formula as directed on the package.

3 Key Ways to Conserve Water in Your Home

There are areas that suffer from drought from time to time, so conserving water is very important. Even if you don't live an area that suffers from drought, using your water wisely can help with your utility bill. In this blog, Culligan at the Lake of the Ozarks would like to give you 3 key ways to utilize your water conservatively.

3 Key Ways to Conserve Water in Your Home

1. Turn off the tap while you are brushing your teeth.

Turn off your water while you are brushing your teeth. Doing this can help you save water. Did you know that the average faucet releases 2 gallons of water per minute? You can save up to 8 gallons of water every day just by turning off your tap while you brush your teeth, at least if you brush you brush your teeth for the recommended 2 minutes. This rule can also go for gentlemen who shave at the sink. Rinse your razor in a pool of water in a plugged sink instead of rinsing it under running water every time.

2. Load your dishwasher correctly.

Loading your dishwasher incorrectly can lead to still-dirty dishes and your dishwasher having to use extra water to wash your dishes. There are wrong ways and right ways to load your dishwasher. For example, some common mistakes when loading your dishwasher can include:

placing car-covered dishes everywhere
putting protein-crusted dishes anywhere
placing your spoons where the tops touch eachother
overloading your dishwasher
not following directions

3. Fix your leaky sinks and running toilets.

Did you know that a running toilet can waste up to 200 gallons of water each day? Also, at one drip per second, a leaky faucet can leak 3,000 gallons in a year. If your toilet is running or your sink is leaking, we recommend you call a plumber as soon as possible. Getting your toilet and sink fixed as soon as possible can not only help prevent a more expensive utility bill, but also it can help prevent even more costly repairs from happening.
