What is blackberry mango mint water?

Blackberry mango mint water is plain water steeped with blackberries, mango, and fresh mint. The fruit gives the water a gentle berry and tropical flavor, while the mint adds a fresh finish.

Unlike a smoothie, the ingredients are not blended into the drink. It is one of many berry infused water recipes you can make ahead and keep chilled.

What ingredients and ratio do you need?

For about four servings, use:

Water: 950 mL (about 4 cups)
Blackberries: 75 g (about 1/2 cup)
Mango: 75 g (about 1/2 cup), peeled and diced
Fresh mint leaves: 5 g (about 1/4 cup, loosely packed)

This ratio uses about 150 g of fruit for roughly 1 liter of water. The amounts are flexible: choose ripe, fragrant mango for more noticeable sweetness, and use fresh blackberries that are firm rather than damaged. Unsweetened frozen fruit can also be used.

A clear pitcher makes the fruit easy to see, but any clean, covered container large enough for the water and ingredients will work. Have a strainer ready if you prefer to serve the water without pieces of fruit.

How do you make blackberry mango mint water?

Prep time: 10 minutes
Refrigerated steep: 2–4 hours
Total time: 2 hours 10 minutes, using the minimum steep
Yield: About 4 cups (950 mL), or four roughly 1-cup servings

Rinse the blackberries, whole mango, and mint under running water. Wash your hands and use a clean cutting board and pitcher.
Prepare the fruit: peel and dice the mango, discarding its pit, and cut the blackberries in half. Leave the mint leaves whole or tear them gently.
Combine the fruit and mint in the pitcher, then pour in the water.
Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for 2–4 hours. Taste after 2 hours and steep longer if you want a stronger flavor.
Strain the water if you like, then pour into glasses. Keep the remaining water refrigerated.

Cutting the berries exposes more of their flesh without blending them. For a clearer, more lightly flavored drink, leave the berries whole and strain before serving.

Why do blackberry, mango, and mint work together?

Blackberries bring a tart, berry-forward flavor, as they do in blackberry infused water. Mango softens that tartness with a tropical taste; ripe fruit is especially useful for the flavor of mango infused water. Mint adds the cool, herbal note associated with mint water.

The main benefit of this recipe is hydration. Water supports normal body functions, including the work of the liver and kidneys, which do most of the body's detoxification. The drink itself does not flush toxins from the body.

Whole fruit contains fiber and nutrients, but the amount that enters steeped water is uncertain. Eating the fruit adds its fiber and calories; do not count the whole fruit's nutrition as though it were all in the strained water.

How long can you store it?

Keep blackberry mango mint water covered in the refrigerator and drink it within 24 hours for the best flavor. Discard any remainder after 2 days, or sooner if it becomes cloudy, slimy, or sour-smelling.

Return the pitcher to the refrigerator promptly after pouring rather than leaving it out. If you strain the fruit, use a clean strainer and container, and keep the same storage clock from when the water was first made.

How can you vary the recipe?

Make it more berry-forward

Use a little more blackberry and a little less mango, keeping the total fruit close to 150 g. Halving the berries will help their flavor reach the water.

Make it more tropical

Increase the mango and reduce the blackberries while keeping the same total fruit amount. Choose ripe mango, since the drink has no added sweetener.

Adjust the mint

Use fewer leaves for a softer herbal note, or tear the leaves before adding them for a more noticeable mint aroma. Taste during the refrigerated steep and strain when the flavor suits you.
