This is very much a method, not a recipe.
- Before using any fruit or vegetable parts to infuse water, wash the whole fruit before cutting.
- Save scraps for water; the amount of scraps are going to affect the intensity of the flavor.
- For other options, combine different fruits or vegetables, use herbs and spices or infuse tea instead of water.
- Overnight gives the most intense flavor.
- Don’t be shocked by the murky look of some fruits and vegetables after sitting in water.
- Strain for a clear water, muddle for more flavor, then strain.
- Drink promptly, within three or four days; there are no preservatives.
