Fruit Infused Water Recipes

Fruit Infused Water Recipes

Since my first blog on infusing fruit was catered to the adult beverage….. I thought I should share a few recipes of the non alcoholic kind. 🙂 Trust me I have been using my infuser for something other then adult beverages.

Tips on infusing:

• Infuse for 1-2 hours at room temperature or in the fridge for 3-4 hours to achieve potent flavor and water color.
• Drink your refrigerated infused waters within 3 days of infusing. However, you should always drink un-refrigerated infused waters the same day as infusing.
• The big trick is to add more water to your container when the water is half way down.
• It’s better to use cold or room temperature water.
• You should not drink fruit infused water that has been sitting out at room temperature for more than 4-5 hours because it will become a breeding ground for mold and bacteria.  YUCK!!!!!
• Yes, you can eat the infused fruit.  I’ve taken my fruits and thrown them into the Vitamix to make a smoothie the next day.
