Step 1

Add the fruit, spices, and/or herbs to the bottom of a sealable bottle or 1 quart mason jar.

Step 2

Pour in cold water.

Step 3

Stir to mix well.

Step 4

Let the water get infused at room temperature for 1-2 hours or refrigerated for about 3-4 hours before drinking it.  (Infusing for up to 8 hours will make it pretty strong, if you prefer that.)

Step 5

If you didn’t get to drinking your water within 12 hours, I recommend removing the fruit at that point and storing without the fruit so the flavor doesn’t become too powerful and overwhelming.  Then, you could store it in the fridge for a couple days that way.
