How To Make Fruit-Infused Water

I believe it’s super important to use organic fruits and vegetables because they aren’t sprayed with pesticides. Regardless, make sure to wash your fruits and vegetables before using them for fruit-infused water. We like to use this fruit and veggie wash. Then, cut some fruits and vegetables of your choice. We listed some of our favorite combinations above.

How To Serve Fruit Infused Water

You can enjoy your fruit-infused water right away by adding ice to your glass of water with fruit. Both sparkling and flat water work great. For a stronger flavor, chill the infused water in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours. Either way, it’s a flavorful and incredibly refreshing drink.

Expert Tips

  • Jar To Use: A mason jar works perfectly! You can also use an infuser bottle or a large pitcher with a built-in strainer for added convenience.
  • Wash The Fruit: Always wash your fruit thoroughly before adding it to the water.
  • Enjoy The Same Day: For the best flavor and freshness, enjoy your infused water the same day you make it. Letting it sit too long can cause the fruit to become bitter or mushy.
  • Freeze Fruits and Vegetables: Freezing fruits and vegetables is a great way to keep them fresh and enjoy them any time. I love buying fresh produce when it’s in season and freezing it so I can enjoy it year-round, no matter what’s in season! It also makes infused water super easy. I just grab a handful of frozen fruit and drop it into my water for instant flavor and chill. I freeze my fruits and vegetables in Stasher bags because they’re reusable and long-lasting. If you don’t have Stasher bags, Ziploc freezer bags work just as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is The Best Fruit To Put In Water?

It depends on what flavors you love! I often go for lemon, lime, or orange for a bright citrus kick, or strawberries and blueberries when I want something sweet and fruity. Watermelon and pineapple are amazing in the summer, and apple slices with a cinnamon stick are so cozy in the fall. You can mix and match them with herbs like mint or basil for even more flavor.

How Long Should You Infuse Water With Fruit?

Infuse water with fruit for at least 30 minutes, but if you have more time 2-4 hours in the fridge gives the best flavor. Just don’t let it go too long, after 12 hours the fruit can get bitter or too soft.

How Long Does Fruit Infused Water Last?

It is best to drink fruit-infused water the day you make it and will last up to one day when stored in the fridge.

Is Infused Water Healthy?

Yes, fruit-infused water is a healthy option. it’s a delicious way to stay hydrated and skip sugary drinks. Plus, it makes drinking water feel special!

Can I Use Frozen Fruit In Infused Water?

Yes! Frozen fruit works great in infused water and helps keep your drink cold at the same time. It’s also a great way to enjoy seasonal flavors year-round.
