There are so many options for Infused Water, but we are sharing a few of our favourite picks. Select the flavour you prefer the most.

 

How to make infused water?

Depending on the flavour you prefer, chop the fruits and add them to water.

Do you want more flavour? Then infuse them for 4 to 5 hours, otherwise 2 hours should be enough to get enough flavour. 

Try and use organic produce as you will be drinking that water. If you are not using the organic produce, do remove the peel and rind of the fruits and vegetables to avoid drinking pesticides. Store it in a pitcher or for a quick drink in a mason jar.

Always try and carry your infused water bottle with you. This way it reminds you to drink water always and even fills up your tummy.

Can you eat the fruits infused later?

You can even eat up the fruits which have been infused. They might lose a bit of colour and flavour but they are perfectly healthy to eat.
