What is blueberry raspberry mint water?

Blueberry raspberry mint water is plain water steeped with fresh blueberries, raspberries and mint. The berries give it a subtle fruity taste, while the mint adds a fresh finish. It is served cold, with or without the fruit in the glass.

The flavor is lighter than juice because the ingredients are steeped rather than blended. There is no added sugar in this recipe.

What ingredients and ratio do you need?

For one pitcher, use roughly 1 cup of berries and a small handful of mint per 1 litre of water. This makes about four 1-cup servings after straining.

Water: 1 litre (4 1/4 cups)
Blueberries: about 75 g (1/2 cup)
Raspberries: about 60 g (1/2 cup)
Fresh mint leaves: about 5 g (1/4 cup loosely packed, or 8–12 leaves)

Choose a pitcher large enough to hold the water and fruit with room for stirring. A lid helps keep the infusion covered while it chills.

How do you make blueberry raspberry mint water?

Allow 10 minutes for preparation and at least 2 hours for refrigerated steeping.

Wash your hands, then rinse the blueberries, raspberries and mint under running water.
Add the berries and mint to a clean pitcher. Gently press the berries once or twice with a spoon to release some flavor without turning them into purée.
Pour in the water and stir gently. Cover the pitcher.
Refrigerate for 2 hours; leave it for up to 4 hours for a fuller flavor.
Strain if you prefer a clear drink, or serve with the fruit and mint still in the pitcher. Pour into glasses and add ice if desired.

Taste the water after 2 hours. If the flavor is already to your liking, strain and serve it; otherwise, let it continue steeping in the refrigerator.

Why do blueberries, raspberries and mint pair well?

Blueberries bring a mild, rounded berry flavor, while raspberries add a sharper, slightly tart note. Mint gives the combination a cooling aroma without requiring juice or sweetener. For a simpler version, see blueberry infused water, raspberry infused water or mint water.

The main benefit of the finished drink is hydration. Steeping transfers some flavor and small amounts of fruit components into the water, but the amount of nutrients transferred is not established. Most of the berries’ fiber remains in the fruit.

Steeped, strained infused water is very low in calories; eating or squeezing the fruit adds more of the fruit’s calories. It supports hydration rather than acting as a detox treatment: the liver and kidneys do most of the body’s detoxification.

How should you store blueberry raspberry mint water?

Keep the pitcher covered and refrigerated, and drink it 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, return the water to the refrigerator promptly rather than leaving it on the counter between servings.

How can you vary the recipe?

Adjust the berry balance

Use more blueberries for a milder taste or more raspberries for a tarter one. Keep the combined amount close to 1 cup per 1 litre of water so the pitcher remains an infusion rather than a fruit-heavy drink.

Change the mint intensity

Use fewer mint leaves for a subtle herbal note. For a more noticeable mint flavor, use the full amount and let the pitcher steep closer to 4 hours in the refrigerator.

Serve it strained or with fruit

Strain the pitcher for a clearer drink, or leave the berries and mint in when serving for color. Gently pressed raspberries can make the water look slightly cloudy; avoid mashing them if you prefer a clearer finish.
