What is blackberry peach water?
Blackberry peach water is plain water steeped with fresh blackberries and sliced peach. The fruit gives the water a mild berry flavor and a soft peach aroma without requiring juice, syrup, or added sugar.
The fruit is steeped rather than blended, so the finished drink is lighter than a smoothie. It’s one of many berry infused water recipes you can make in a pitcher and refrigerate until ready to serve.
What ingredients and ratio do you need?
Use approximately 1 cup of fruit for every 1 liter of water. This recipe divides that fruit between blackberries and peach, but you can adjust their proportions while keeping the total roughly the same.
Ingredients
- 75 g (about 1/2 cup) fresh blackberries
- 75 g (about 1/2 cup) sliced fresh peach, pit removed
- 1,000 ml (about 4 1/4 cups) drinking water
- Ice, optional, for serving
Choose ripe fruit for the most noticeable flavor. A peach should smell fragrant and give slightly when gently pressed; firm fruit will work, but its flavor may be milder. You can leave the peach skin on after washing it.

How do you make blackberry peach water?
- Wash the blackberries and peach under cool running water. Gently rub the peach and drain the berries; do not use soap or produce detergent.
- Slice the peach and remove the pit. Measure about 75 g (1/2 cup) of slices.
- Add the blackberries and peach to a clean pitcher or jar. Gently press a few blackberries with a spoon if you want a little more color and flavor; leave them whole for clearer water.
- Pour the drinking water over the fruit and stir gently.
- Refrigerate for 2–4 hours. Taste after 2 hours and leave it longer if you prefer a stronger infusion.
- Strain out the fruit if you like, then serve the water cold, with ice if desired.
For a clear drink, pour through a fine strainer rather than pressing the fruit. For a more rustic pitcher, leave the fruit in while serving, but return the pitcher to the refrigerator promptly.

Blackberries add a tart berry note and can give the water a pale color, especially if gently pressed. Peach softens that tartness with a mellow, fragrant flavor. If you prefer a sharper berry taste, use a little more blackberry; for a softer drink, use more peach.
Like blackberry infused water, this recipe gets its berry character from steeping rather than blending. The peach brings the same delicate fruit flavor found in peach infused water.
The main benefit of the drink is hydration. Whole blackberries and peaches also provide fiber if you eat them, but the amount of nutrients that passes into the water is uncertain. The liver and kidneys do most of the body’s detoxification; drinking water supports hydration, not a special cleanse.
How should you store blackberry peach water?
Keep blackberry peach water refrigerated and drink it within 24 hours for the best flavor. Discard it after 2–3 days, or sooner if it becomes cloudy or slimy or smells sour. Straining the fruit does not restart the storage clock.
Do not leave the pitcher at room temperature for more than a few hours. Use a clean, covered container, and pour into glasses rather than drinking directly from the pitcher to help keep it clean.
How can you vary blackberry peach water?
Make the berry flavor stronger
Gently press more of the blackberries before steeping. The water may become cloudier and develop a deeper color; strain it before serving if you prefer fewer fruit particles.
Make the peach flavor more prominent
Increase the proportion of peach and reduce the blackberries, keeping the total fruit amount about the same. Thin slices expose more of the fruit to the water than large chunks.
Add a fresh herbal note
Add a small sprig of fresh mint to the pitcher before refrigerating. Wash the mint first, and remove it when the flavor tastes strong enough for you. The drink will still be blackberry peach water, with a subtle herbal finish.
