WHAT IS INFUSED WATER?
Infused water is water that is infused with fruits, vegetables, and or herbs. You place your desired produce into a glass or pitcher and then fill the container with water to infuse the water with the produce. It also goes by fruit flavored water, detox water, or spa water.
When making infused waters we highly recommend using organic produce whenever possible.
