Tips for Preparing Infused Water

• Always use cold water when infusing with fruits and vegetables. Do not use hot water. Hot water makes the vegetables and fruit fall apart and it can alter the taste. It might even cook the fruits, vegetables and herbs.
• Wash the vegetables and fruit to remove any chemicals from pesticides that were used in growing. Again, make sure you wash in cold water.
• Choose fresh, ripe fruits for the best flavor. Berries, citrus fruits, and melons work well.
• If you keep the rinds on citrus fruit, after four hours can make the water taste bitter.
• Slice softer fruits like strawberries thick, while harder fruits like apples should be sliced very thin.
• If using herbs, try pairing them with complementary flavors. Mint goes well with lime, for example.

How to Store Limes in Water

Lime water is one of the healthiest and most refreshing drinks you can have, and it's easy to make at home. But once you've made your lime water, how do you store it so that it stays fresh?

Here are a few tips for storing lime water:

• Place the lime water in a clean, airtight container. Glass is best, but plastic will also work. Avoid using metal containers, as they can react with the lime juice.
• Add a pinch of salt to the lime water. This will help to preserve it and keep it fresh for longer.
• Lime slices will start to get mushy after a few days. While this doesn't necessarily mean that the lime has gone bad, it can affect the taste and texture of your lime water; so it's best to remove them before storing the water.
• Store the lime water in the fridge. It will last for up to a week this way.
