Fruit-Infused Water

Method

1. Add your chosen fruits and herbs to a large pitcher or mason jar.
2. Fill with cold water. Gently muddle the fruit with a wooden spoon to release the flavors.
3. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight is best).
4. Serve over ice. Refill the pitcher with water 1-2 more times before the fruit loses its flavor.
5. *Favorite combinations:**
6. **Cucumber-mint**: ½ sliced cucumber + 10 mint leaves
7. **Strawberry-basil**: 6 sliced strawberries + 5 basil leaves
8. **Citrus**: Sliced lemon + lime + orange
9. **Watermelon-rosemary**: 1 cup watermelon cubes + 1 rosemary sprig
10. **Blueberry-lavender**: ½ cup blueberries (muddled) + 1 tsp culinary lavender
11. *Storage:** Refrigerator for 2-3 days. Remove the fruit after 24 hours if it starts to break down.
