Gently crush the herbs in your hand to help release the flavour

Frozen fruit works just as well as fresh!

This recipe makes 5 cups of water (1.25L)

Method

To make your infused nutrient water, start with 1.25L (5 cups) of water.  You can use sparkling or soda water if you prefer. 

Add and gently muddle your fruit in the water, add ice if desired.

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavour to disperse.  Remove any fruit and herbs after 24 hours.

Store your infused water in the fridge for up 3 days (if there is any left by then!)

Enjoy your water in a glass with ice and top up with additional fruit.  Or take it with you in your water bottle when you exercise.
