9 Recipes for Infused Water

October 23, 2017 By: Pratibha2 Comments

Recipes for Infused WaterNow that we’re done and dusted with the festive season, its time to detox! After the binging and extra servings, you need to go a little easy on yourself and your body too. One of the best ways to detox and flush out toxins is by drinking water. And when you infuse it, you are opting for flavoured water which promises the nutrition of the fruits along with the promise of hydration.

9 Recipes for Infused Water

Infused waters are healthy in comparison to the aerated drinks or the flavoured drinks that are available in the market. Infused waters are healthier because they are naturally sweet and have no excess calories. What you get is  hydration in every refreshing sip.

Here are some easy recipes for infused water that you can include in your daily life.

1. Ginger Lemon Cooler

Let the ginger settle down and then drink it in small sips. Most people like to kickstart the day with this drink and when you do, it sure does rev up the metabolism!

Some questions on Recipes for Infused Water

How long can you keep fruit in water?

You need to infuse the fruits for at least four hours before you consume the water. The best option is to let it infuse overnight. The length of time the flavour lasts depends on the type of fruit and herbs you have used to infuse the water. Basil, for example, only lasts for three days while cucumbers and lemon lasts up to one day.

How do you make the infused water?
  1. Drop ingredients in the bottom of a glass jug/pitcher or a bottle.
  2. Cover with ice about 1/2 way through.
  3. Fill till top of the jug with the water.
  4. You can refill the pitcher at least twice or before the water begins to lose flavor.
Water & Vessels

Use cold water to retain the nutrition of the ingredients you will use. And use only glass jugs and pitchers. Avoid using plastic.
