Main Ingredients Needed
This is an overview of the ingredients and instructions. Be sure to see the recipe card below for exact quantities, detailed instructions and special notes.
- Frozen Pineapple Chunks
- Sliced Cucumber
- Fresh Mint
- Water
📌Quick Tip: 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.
Step-by-Step Directions
- Step 1: Add the pineapple chunks and cucumber slices to a tall pitcher.
- Step 2: Also add the fresh mint. It helps to tear them so the flavor penetrates the water.
- Step 3: Fill the pitcher with ice cold water.
- Step 4: Remember, adding hot water will make the pineapple and cucumber fall apart.
Serving Tips
- Pour the pineapple infused water into a glass that's filled with ice cubes.
- Add a few sprigs of mint to garnish the drink and a fun straw.

Variations
- Fresh Pineapple - feel free to use fresh pineapple in place of the frozen chunks I used for this recipe. Canned pineapple chunks would be okay as well. Just be sure to drain them as the added juice would sweeten the infused water too much.
- Coconut Water- replace some of the regular tap water with coconut water.
- See this Fruit Infused Coconut Water recipe on my website!
Storage
- Store the water in the refrigerator for up to three days.
- You should remove the fruits and mint leaves after 24 hours so they don't leave the water bitter.
- Try freezing the leftover water in ice cube trays.
Top Tips
- Wash the vegetables and fruit to remove any chemicals from pesticides that were used in growing. Again, make sure you wash in cold water.
- I prefer to peel the cucumber before adding it to the pitcher of water.

If infused water is left at room temperature, you can enjoy it up to 6 hours. After that time you should refrigerate the water and it's fresh for up to three days, although I find the fruit and vegetables to become slightly mushy.
