How to Make Fruit infused Water
How To Enjoy Fruit Infused Water
You can enjoy your fruit-infused water immediately by adding some ice to your glass of water with fruit. Both sparking and flat water will work great. If you would like a stronger flavor, you can chill the fruit-infused water in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours. Either way, fruit-infused water is flavorful and incredibly refreshing.
How Long Will My Fruit-Infused Water Last in the Refrigerator?
It is best to drink the fruit-infused water the day you make it but will last up to two days in the refrigerator.
Freeze Fruits and Vegetables
Freezing fruits and vegetables helps to keep them fresh and you can enjoy them any time! I love buying fresh fruits and vegetables when they are in season and then freezing them. This way you can enjoy them all year long regardless of if they are in season or not! Also, whenever I want fruit-infused water I can easily add some frozen fruit to my water. I freeze my fruits and vegetables in stasher bags. Stasher bags(affiliate link) are great because they are reusable and will last a long time. If you don’t have stasher bags, Ziploc freezer bags will work as well.
