How To Make Infused Water Recipes

  1. Start with your herb or spice and place it in the container and muddle it. Be careful not to over muddle. How much you put in is personal preference.
  2. Next, add your fresh fruit and muddle slightly. How much fruit you use is personal preference.
  3. Mix and muddle the herbs and fruit together.
  4. If you are using mason jars, fill the bottle with ice. If you are using a pitcher or beverage dispenser, add a large layer of ice.
  5. Fill the container(s) with water and let the herbs and fruit infuse into the water.
  6. You can reuse the combination of herbs and fresh fruits a couple of times if you are keeping it refrigerated; just add more ice and water. Enjoy your herb and berry infused water made just the way you like it!

    Perfect for a summer party. Good looking, healthy, and delicious. I bet there are some cool eco-friendly containers out there that separate the fruit and herbs so that you don’t get a mounth full of leaves when you drink out of it. Thanks for the awesome idea.
