Recipe Notes

Try to use plump, juicy blackberries that are deep in color. When you muddle them, place the mint leaves in the bottom of the glass first. This way they won't be crushed too much.

Chill the sparkling water and lime juice before preparing it and don't forget the ice cubes!

Try serving the drink with fruit ice cubes! Fill them with a few blackberries and mint to add to glasses for a visually appealing twist.

How long should you let fruit infused in water?

Let the fruit infuse in the water for at least 2-4 hours in the refrigerator. For a stronger flavor, you can let it infuse overnight. However, for delicate fruits like berries, it's best to remove them after a few hours to prevent them from becoming too mushy.

Can I eat the fruit in my infused water?

You can eat the fruit, but it after soaking in water for an extended period, the fruit will lose much of its flavor, texture, and color.

Substitutions and Variations

Try using a different fruit if you don't like blackberries. Raspberries, blueberries, or strawberries can offer a similar sweetness and vibrant color.

If fresh berries aren't in season, frozen berries can be a convenient and budget-friendly alternative. Just thaw them slightly before using.

Quick Tip

For this recipe, I use agave to sweeten the drink. However, if you prefer a sweeter drink, try adding honey or even a little sugar. Start with a small amount and taste as you go.

Storage Instructions

Refrigerate: Remove the fruit and herbs from the water. You can discard them or save them for another use, like adding to smoothies or yogurt. Pour the infused water into an airtight container, such as a glass bottle or pitcher with a lid and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Freezer: If you have a lot of leftover infused water, you can freeze it in ice cube trays and use the cubes to chill future drinks.

Make sure you muddle the blackberries and mint together gently. This releases the juices and oils from both ingredients, creating a more flavorful and aromatic drink.
