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.
IS DRINKING INFUSED WATER GOOD FOR YOU?
If you’re just adding water and fruit it’s definitely a healthier option than grabbing a sugary drink with syrups and dyes. The best part of our Fruit Salad Infused Water is you get to eat the fruit after you’ve infused the water.
It’s a great way to make a refreshing drink and a healthy snack at the same time. Both kids and adults love this recipe. Infusing water is a great way to drink more water if you don’t like plain water.
HOW LONG DO YOU INFUSE THE WATER?
We recommend infusing for at least 6-8 hours. We’ll typically make it a day in advance by making it the night before we need them.
HOW LONG IS INFUSED WATER GOOD FOR?
We recommend consuming within 1-2 days or the fruit begins to break down and lose flavor.

Start by making a big bowl of fruit salad. You can mix and match your favorite fruits and even add in some basil or mint leaves.
Fill up your pitcher or mason jars halfway with the fruit salad.
Cover up the fruit with fresh water and then leave a little space so you can add in frozen grapes before serving.
Refrigerate for 6-8 hours or overnight.
Serve with frozen grapes or ice cubes.
WHAT JARS AND LIDS DID YOU USE?
We used wide mouth mason jars with reusable plastic lids that we found at our local Target store.
