Five Infused Water Recipes

Ingredients

• 2 liters Cold Filtered Water (use fresh, cold water)
• 1 medium Orange (rolled to release juice, sliced)
• 6 whole Strawberries (hulled, sliced)
• 10 leaves Fresh Mint Leaves (torn to release flavor)
• 8 leaves Fresh Basil Leaves (lightly muddled)
• 1/2 cup Blueberries (lightly muddled)
• 1 cup Frozen Mango Chunks (used as flavored ice cubes)
• 1 small Lemon (thinly sliced)
• 1/2 medium Cucumber (thin slices, larger than straw hole)
• 1 cup Ice Cubes (optional for extra chill)

Instructions

1. Prepare Fruit and Herbs for Infusion Pitcher

   Wash the mint leaves, then tear them gently. Roll the orange on the countertop to loosen juices, then slice it. Slice strawberries and set aside.

   Time: PT5M

2. Load Infusion Pitcher

   Place the orange slices, strawberry pieces, and torn mint leaves into the cylinder of the infusion pitcher. Screw the top on tightly and set the pitcher in the refrigerator.

   Time: PT2M

3. Add Water and Infuse

   Pour 2 L of cold filtered water into the pitcher. Let it sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours (longer for stronger flavor).

   Time: PT2H

   Temperature: 4°C

4. Prepare Basil‑Blueberry Mix for Regular Pitcher

   Place basil leaves and blueberries into a bowl. Gently muddle with the back of a wooden spoon—just enough to bruise the basil and crush a few berries.

   Time: PT2M

5. Combine with Water in Regular Pitcher

   Transfer the muddled basil‑blueberry mixture into a regular pitcher, add the remaining water, and refrigerate for 2 hours. Before serving, strain through a fine mesh strainer into glasses.

   Time: PT2H

   Temperature: 4°C

6. Assemble Tumbler with Frozen Mango

   Add 1 cup frozen mango chunks to a wide‑mouth tumbler. Fill with water and optional ice cubes. The frozen mango acts as flavored ice and releases taste quickly.

   Time: PT1M

7. Prepare Lemon‑Cucumber Glass

   Slice lemon and cucumber into thin rounds larger than the straw opening. Place them in a glass, add water, and insert a straw for sipping.

   Time: PT2M

8. Serve and Enjoy

   Choose any of the prepared infused waters, give a quick stir, and enjoy throughout the day. Re‑infuse as needed, but discard fruit after 24 hours for best taste.

   Time: PT1M
