Blackberry Peach Mint Water: Easy Infused Water Recipe

Blackberry peach mint water is fruit- and herb-infused water that takes about 2 hours 10 minutes to prepare, including chilling, and makes about 1 liter, or 4 servings. It is one of many berry infused water recipes you can make without blending or added sugar.

What is blackberry peach mint water?

Blackberry peach mint water is made by steeping fresh blackberries, sliced peach and mint leaves in cold water. The fruit lends a light berry and peach flavor, while the mint adds a fresh finish.

The flavor is subtler than juice because the ingredients are steeped rather than blended. Serve it as a refreshing way to drink water, with or without the fruit in the glass.

What ingredients and ratio do you need?

For a pitcher, use roughly equal amounts of blackberries and peach, plus a small handful of mint. This recipe uses about 1 cup of fruit for every 1 liter of water.

Water: 1 liter (about 4 1/4 cups)
Fresh blackberries: 75 g (about 1/2 cup)
Fresh peach, sliced: 75 g (about 1/2 cup)
Fresh mint leaves: 5 g (about 1/4 cup, loosely packed)

Choose a ripe peach for the best flavor and use a pitcher with room for the fruit as well as the water. The cup measurements are approximate because fruit and leaves vary in size; the recipe does not need to be exact.

How do you make blackberry peach mint water?

Allow about 10 minutes for preparation and at least 2 hours for the water to chill and infuse.

Wash your hands, then rinse the blackberries, peach and mint under running water.
Slice the peach, discarding the pit, and place the slices in a clean pitcher with the blackberries.
Lightly bruise the mint leaves between your fingers and add them to the pitcher. Gently press a few blackberries with a spoon if you prefer a stronger berry flavor.
Pour in the water, cover the pitcher and refrigerate for 2–4 hours.
Serve the water cold, with the fruit and mint in the glass or strained out if you prefer.

Taste the water after 2 hours. If you want a stronger infusion, return it to the refrigerator for up to 2 more hours; the finished flavor will depend on the ripeness of the fruit and how much you press the berries.

Why do blackberry, peach and mint work well together?

Blackberries bring a tart berry note and a hint of color, while peach adds a softer, sweeter fruit flavor. Mint gives the blend a cool, herbal finish. If you prefer one flavor to stand out, use a little more of that ingredient next time.

For simpler versions, try blackberry infused water, peach infused water or mint water. Each highlights one part of this combination.

The main benefit of blackberry peach mint water is hydration. Infused water that is steeped rather than blended or squeezed is usually very low in calories, often under 10 kcal per glass; eating the fruit adds its calories and nutrients. The liver and kidneys do most of the body's detoxification, while the lungs and gut also help eliminate waste. Water supports hydration rather than acting as a cleanse.

How should you store blackberry peach mint water?

Keep the pitcher covered and refrigerated. For the best flavor, drink blackberry peach mint water within 24 hours.

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. Use a clean utensil when serving, and avoid returning poured water to the pitcher.

How can you vary blackberry peach mint water?

Make it more fruit-forward

Gently press a few more blackberries before adding the water, or increase the peach slightly. Pressing releases more fruit into the water than steeping alone, so the drink may be cloudier and contain more calories.

Make the mint milder or stronger

Use fewer leaves for a subtle herbal note, or add a few extra leaves for a more noticeable mint flavor. Bruise the leaves lightly rather than chopping them if you want an infusion that is easy to strain.

Serve it over ice

Pour the chilled infusion into glasses with ice just before serving. The melting ice will dilute the flavor, so taste the water first and allow it to steep longer in the refrigerator if needed.
