Chef Tips from the Video

- For a sweeter drink, use naturally sweet fruit like mango or pineapple, but keep sugar content in mind
- Use the bottle’s hourly markers as a reminder to sip regularly throughout the day
Troubleshooting
Water tastes bland or weak
Add more fruit slices or let the bottle sit for an additional 10‑15 minutes before drinking
Fruit becomes mushy and releases too much pulp
Use fresh fruit and avoid over‑steeping; remove fruit after 2‑3 hours if you prefer a clearer drink
Bottle leaks when shaking
Check that the infuser compartment and the main lid are both fully screwed on; tighten gently but securely
Storage
Refrigerator: Store the infused water in the fridge and consume within 24 hours for best flavor
Freezer: Do not freeze the bottle; ice can expand and damage the infuser
Room temperature: If kept at room temperature, drink within 6 hours to avoid bacterial growth
Make-Ahead Tips
- Pre‑slice all fruit and store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 2 days
- Freeze strawberries or blueberries for an extra‑cold drink without diluting flavor
- Prepare multiple bottles at once for the week and keep them refrigerated
