Infused water is the perfect summer drink – super hydrating and with the addition of fruit and herbs can be extremely delightful, flavourful and refreshing.
How to make it?
Well, it couldn’t be easier.
All you need is a jug of water and some fruit and/or herbs. Simply pop your herbs and fruit into the water (you might want to slice the big fruits like apples, lemons or grapefruits so the final flavour of the water is more intense) and then you just wait… Ideally you want to leave it to infuse overnight, up to 12 hours for best results but with a minimum infusing time of just 4 hours. When ready remove the fruit and herbs from the water, discard them and store the infused water in the fridge (for up to 3 days) ready to use.
For most people plain water can get a little boring especially if consumed regularly, but with the endless possibilities for infused water, everyone will find something they like and will enjoy.
I personally like the simple combo of lemon and mint – a few thick slices of lemon and a small handful of fresh mint left in the fridge overnight gives me an extremely refreshing drink in the morning.
With so many different fruits in season right now, I wanted to share with you some infused water ideas from other bloggers in the hope that they will inspire you to create your own infused water combos.

I absolutely love water infusions. theres a few here I’m loving the sound of and need to try them out! thank you for this 🙂
I’m usually a mint or lemon kind of girl, but orange and basil are definitely what I’ll be trying next!
Infused water has become one of my favourite drinks, but I confess I never make it myself! I need to remedy this with some of these lovely recipes!
Well I love infused water. I was drinking cucumber water but got tired of it. Then I switched to lemon apple cider vinegar unexpectedly. I wouldn’t mind trying the rosemary, lemon, strawberry. Or the orange basil and the lemon ginger. In fact I think these combinations should all be tried at some point. I’m pinning this also. Thanks for the these water options.
Love these ideas, they all look much better than the regular cucumber water I have x
Wow, some great ideas, thanks for sharing
