Blueberry Peach Ginger Water: Recipe & How to Make It

Blueberry peach ginger water is water infused with blueberries, peach and fresh ginger; it takes 2 hours 10 minutes total and yields about 1 liter (4¼ cups).

What is blueberry peach ginger water?

Blueberry peach ginger water is a lightly flavored infusion, not a juice or smoothie. The fruit and ginger steep in cold water, giving it a subtle fruity flavor with a little warmth from the ginger.

This combination is one of many berry infused water recipes you can make without a blender. Serve it cold on its own or over ice.

What ingredients and ratio do you need?

For about 1 liter (4¼ cups) of blueberry peach ginger water, use approximately equal amounts of blueberry and peach, plus a small piece of ginger. The fruit is sliced rather than blended, so the finished drink will be more delicate than juice.

Water: 1,000 ml (about 4¼ cups) cold drinking water
Blueberries: 75 g (about ½ cup)
Peach: 75 g (about ½ cup), sliced, with the pit removed
Fresh ginger: 10 g (about ⅛ cup), thinly sliced, from roughly a 2.5 cm (1-inch) piece

Active prep: 10 minutes
Refrigerated steep: 2 hours
Total time: 2 hours 10 minutes
Yield: About 1 liter (4¼ cups), before adding ice

The measurements are flexible: fruit size and how loosely the slices are packed will affect the cup measurements. Use the weights when you want to reproduce the same ratio.

How do you make blueberry peach ginger water?

Rinse the blueberries, peach and ginger under cool running water. Use a clean pitcher and utensils.
Slice the peach, discarding the pit, and cut the ginger into thin slices. Leave the blueberries whole.
Add the blueberries, peach and ginger to the pitcher, then pour in the cold water.
Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for 2 hours. For a stronger infusion, leave it in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours.
Stir gently and serve cold. Strain out the fruit and ginger if you prefer, or leave them in the pitcher while it stays refrigerated.

Taste the water after the first 2 hours. If the flavor is lighter than you like, give it more time in the refrigerator rather than leaving it on the counter. The yield is approximate because some water may remain with the fruit when you strain it.

Why do blueberry, peach and ginger pair well?

Blueberries bring a mild berry taste and can give the water a faint color. In blueberry infused water, that flavor stands on its own; here, the peach makes the combination taste softer and fruitier.

Peach adds a fragrant sweetness without turning the water into a sweetened drink. For a simpler fruit flavor, peach infused water uses the same idea without the berry and ginger combination.

Ginger adds a gentle spicy edge that balances the fruit. Thin slices expose more of the ginger to the water; use fewer slices if you prefer a milder taste. A standalone ginger water has a more prominent ginger flavor.

The main benefit of blueberry peach ginger water is that it provides water for hydration. Blueberries and peaches contain nutrients, but the amount that transfers into an infusion is uncertain, so the drink should not be treated as nutritionally equivalent to eating the fruit.

How should you store blueberry peach ginger water?

Keep blueberry peach ginger water covered and refrigerated. For the best flavor, drink it within 24 hours; discard it after 2–3 days, or sooner if it becomes cloudy, slimy or sour-smelling.

Do not leave the pitcher at room temperature for more than a few hours. Straining the fruit makes the water easier to pour, but it does not remove the need for refrigeration or extend the storage window. Start with a clean pitcher each time you make a batch.

How can you vary blueberry peach ginger water?

Make it more berry-forward

Use a little more blueberry and a little less peach while keeping the total fruit amount roughly the same. The flavor will still be lighter than a blended berry drink.

Bring out the peach

Use more peach and fewer blueberries, keeping the ginger amount unchanged. A ripe peach gives the infusion a more noticeable aroma; wash it before slicing and remove the pit.

Adjust the ginger

For a gentler drink, start with fewer ginger slices. For a sharper flavor, use the full amount and steep for the longer end of the 2–4-hour range, tasting before serving.
