What is blueberry pineapple water?

Blueberry pineapple water is a lightly flavored drink made by steeping fruit in water rather than blending it. The blueberries add a mild berry taste, while the pineapple gives the water a brighter, tropical flavor.

It is one of many berry infused water recipes you can make without added sweetener. The finished water will taste subtler than juice, especially if you leave the blueberries whole.

What ingredients and ratio do you need?

Prep time: 10 minutes
Refrigerated steeping time: 2 hours
Total time: 2 hours 10 minutes
Yield: About 4 cups, or 4 servings

Ingredients

• 4 cups (950 mL) water
• 1/2 cup (75 g) fresh blueberries
• 1/2 cup (80 g) fresh pineapple, peeled and cut into small pieces

This ratio uses about 1 cup of fruit for 4 cups of water. Start with ripe, good-quality fruit: it provides the flavor, even though the drink will remain less sweet than the fruit itself.

Use a clean, covered pitcher or jar large enough to hold the water and fruit. A wide opening makes it easier to add the pineapple and remove the fruit afterward.

How do you make blueberry pineapple water?

1. Wash your hands, pitcher and utensils. Rinse the blueberries under running water, and rinse the outside of the pineapple before cutting it.
2. Prepare the pineapple by removing the peel and cutting the flesh into small pieces. Measure 1/2 cup of pieces and 1/2 cup of blueberries.
3. Add the fruit to the pitcher and pour in 4 cups of water. Leave the blueberries whole for a clearer, gently flavored drink.
4. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for 2 hours. For a stronger infusion, steep for up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
5. Serve the water chilled, with or without the fruit. Strain it into another clean container if you prefer a fruit-free pour.

The yield is approximate because some water may remain with the fruit. Add ice to individual glasses if you like; melting ice will make the flavor milder.

Why do blueberries and pineapple pair well?

Blueberries have a soft, sweet-tart flavor, while pineapple adds a sharper, tropical note. Together they offer a more layered taste than blueberry infused water alone, with a mellower berry flavor alongside the brightness of pineapple infused water.

The main benefit of the drink is hydration. Your liver and kidneys do most of your body's detoxification, while your lungs and gut also help eliminate waste; this water does not flush out toxins.

Both fruits contain vitamin C and fiber, but the amounts below describe the whole raw fruit, not the infused water. How much vitamin C transfers into the water is not established by these figures; eat the fruit to get its fiber.

How should you store blueberry pineapple water?

Keep the pitcher covered and refrigerated while it steeps and afterward. Drink the water 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 the pitcher at room temperature for more than a few hours. If you strain out the fruit, use a clean container and keep the strained water refrigerated under the same storage guidance.

What variations can you try?

Make it lighter

Use less of each fruit with the same amount of water. This produces a subtler flavor without changing the refrigerated steeping method.

Emphasize one fruit

Replace some pineapple with more blueberries for a softer berry taste, or swap some blueberries for more pineapple for a brighter flavor. Keep the total fruit amount at about 1 cup for 4 cups of water as a starting point.

Add a little mint

Add a rinsed mint sprig to the pitcher before refrigerating. The mint brings a fresh note without changing the blueberry and pineapple base; remove it when the flavor tastes right to you.
