How to make infused water?
To make infused water, start by selecting your favorite fruits, vegetables, or herbs, such as cucumbers, citrus fruits, melons, mint, apples, cinnamon, fresh ginger root, rosemary, or blackberries.
Next, prepare the ingredients by slicing or muddling them to release their flavors. Then, place the prepared ingredients in a pitcher or container and fill it with cold water.
Once the flavor infuses into the water after a few hours, it's ready to be enjoyed immediately or refrigerated for later consumption. This simple and refreshing beverage offers a delicious way to stay hydrated and enjoy the natural goodness of fruits and herbs.

What fruit is best for infused water?
The best fruits for infused water are typically those with a high water content and vibrant flavors, such as citrus fruits (lemons, limes, oranges), berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries), and melons (cantaloupe, honeydew).
Cucumbers are also a popular choice due to their refreshing taste and ability to complement other flavors. Additionally, fruits like pineapple, watermelon, and mango can add a tropical twist to infused water. Experiment with different combinations of fruits for refreshing infused water options.
How long can you keep fruit in infused water?
For the best flavor and quality, it's recommended to consume infused water on the same day or the following day. If you plan to store it, aim to consume it within 3 to 4 days for optimal freshness.
To prevent the water from becoming bitter, especially if kept for longer than 24 hours, consider removing the fruits and herbs from the water.
Top Tip
When making infused water recipes is to allow enough time for the flavors to meld. While some fruits and herbs may infuse quickly, others may require a longer steeping period to fully impart their flavors.
It's recommended to refrigerate your infused water for at least a few hours, or ideally overnight, to achieve the best results. Additionally, consider lightly crushing or bruising herbs and slicing fruits thinly to release their essential oils and juices more effectively, enhancing the infusion process.
