Calories: 20kcal
Ingredients
- 8 cups of cold filtered water or cold seltzer carbonated water (can also use flavored water)
- 1/4 cup fresh mint
- 1 cup strawberries quartered
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 lime or lemon* sliced (optional, for garnish)
- ice
Instructions
- Add mint to bottom of a glass pitcher. Muddle slightly by mashing down on the mint 3-4 times with a wooden spoon.
- Add sliced strawberries, blueberries, and lime slices to the pitcher. Stir to mix with mint.
- Pour water into pitcher. Place in refrigerator overnight to infuse or chill for 10-20 minutes, stir, and serve over ice. If using for a party for individual servings, reserve some of the lime slices, strawberries, and large mint leaves and garnish the glass before serving.
Notes
*If you are going to infuse the water for more than 2 hours, peel the limes before adding (or remove them after 2 hours). The peel sometimes makes the water bitter.
IMPORTANT: REFRIGERATE THE WATER IF INFUSING OVERNIGHT. Then, remove the any soggy fruit and replace with fresh fruit before serving.
Always wash fruit thoroughly before infusing into water to also help prevent bacterial growth.
