Infused water is a refreshing way to stay hydrated all day long! It also gives water a hint of flavor without added sugars or sweeteners. Making infused water at home is so simple and completely customizable. It’s just water, fresh fruit, vegetables, and/or fresh herbs. Not only is it such a great way to use up any extra fresh produce, infused water mixes it up. Here are some of my personal favorites!
Infused water ideas:
Cucumber + honeydew melon + fresh mint
Orange + blackberries
Raspberries + Meyer lemon
Mixed berries: strawberries + blackberries + blueberries + raspberries
Classic lemon + lime
Lemon + cucumber + fresh mint
Watermelon + cantaloupe + honeydew
How to make infused water:
- Wash fresh produce and herbs. Chop or slice ingredients depending on produce.
- Add desired amount of fruits, vegetables, or fresh herbs to a pitcher.
- Pour chilled filtered water or plain sparkling water over ingredients.
- Infuse for at least 2-4 hours in refrigerator. The flavor will be stronger the longer the ingredients infuse.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the fruit, vegetables, or fresh herbs. Serve chilled!
Note: After removing fruit, veggies, or fresh herbs from water, enjoy as a little snack.
How to store infused water:
- Store infused water in air tight container or pitcher with a lid in the refrigerator for up to a week.
