How do you choose and prepare a combination?

Choose apple pear water for the simplest fruit-only option. For a warmer flavor, select cinnamon; for a sharper taste, choose ginger. Rosemary gives the water a more distinctly herbal aroma.

Lemon and lime contribute tart citrus notes, while orange is generally mellower. Choose cucumber when you want a fresh, mild addition rather than citrus. Apple or pear works with any of these pairings, so start with the fruit you prefer.

For a flexible pitcher, use the following method and choose ingredients to match one of the recipes above. Use both apple and pear for the first four recipes, or use one fruit with the corresponding citrus or cucumber and seasoning for the others.

Ingredients

• 1 liter water (about 4¼ US cups)
• About 150 g sliced or chopped apple and/or pear (about 1 US cup)
• Optional citrus: 1 sliced lemon, lime or orange (about 100 g)
• Optional cucumber: about 150 g sliced (about 1½ US cups, or roughly half a cucumber)
• Optional seasoning: 1 cinnamon stick, about 10 g sliced fresh ginger (a 1-inch piece), or about 5 g rosemary (2 sprigs)

Method

1. Wash the fruit and any cucumber or herbs under running water. Cut away the apple and pear cores and seeds, then slice the produce.
2. Add the chosen fruit, any citrus or cucumber, and any seasoning to a clean pitcher. Pour in the water.
3. Cover and refrigerate for 2–4 hours. If using citrus with its peel, remove the citrus or strain the water after about 4 hours to limit bitterness.
4. Serve chilled. Strain the water if you prefer not to have fruit or herbs in the glass.

Steeping gives water flavor without blending the fruit into it. Steeped infused water is usually under 10 kcal per glass; squeezing the fruit into the water or eating it adds the fruit's calories.

How do you keep infused water safe?

Start with clean hands, utensils and a pitcher, and rinse produce under running water rather than using soap. Remove damaged portions and discard ingredients that are already spoiled. If you are allergic to an ingredient, leave it out and choose a suitable combination.

Keep the pitcher refrigerated and drink it within 24 hours for the best flavor. Discard it after 2–3 days, or sooner if it becomes cloudy, slimy or sour-smelling. Do not leave it at room temperature for more than a few hours.

These recipes can make water more appealing, but they do not cleanse the body. The liver and kidneys do most of the body's detoxification, while the lungs and gut also help eliminate waste; infused water supports hydration.
