What is mango peach ginger water?

Mango peach ginger water is drinking water infused with fresh mango, peach and ginger. The fruit gives it a mellow, fruity flavor, while ginger adds a light, warming bite. The ingredients are steeped rather than blended, so the finished drink stays clear rather than becoming a smoothie.

This recipe is one of many tropical fruit infused water recipes. It needs no added sweetener, although some natural sugars and flavors from the fruit can move into the water.

What ingredients and ratio do you need?

Use roughly equal amounts of mango and peach, plus a small piece of ginger, for 1 liter of water. Choose ripe, firm fruit for flavor and slices that hold their shape while steeping.

Ingredients

75 g mango, peeled and chopped, about ½ cup
75 g peach, pitted and sliced, about ½ cup
10 g fresh ginger, thinly sliced, about 1 tablespoon or a 1-inch piece
1,000 ml drinking water, about 4¼ cups

The combined fruit amounts to about 1 cup per liter of water. The ginger adds a noticeable accent without making the drink taste predominantly spicy; slice it thinly to expose more of its surface to the water.

How do you make mango peach ginger water?

Active prep: 10 minutes
Refrigerated steep: 2 hours
Total time: 2 hours 10 minutes
Yield: About 1 liter, or 4 servings of approximately 250 ml each

Wash your hands, the mango, the peach and the ginger under running water before preparing the fruit.
Peel the mango, remove its pit and chop the flesh. Remove the peach pit and slice the peach.
Slice the ginger thinly; peel it first if you prefer.
Add the mango, peach and ginger to a clean pitcher, then pour in the drinking water.
Cover the pitcher and refrigerate it for 2 hours. For a stronger infusion, leave it in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours.
Strain the ingredients out if you like, then pour the water into glasses and serve chilled.

A 2-hour steep gives you the stated total time. The longer option takes up to 4 hours 10 minutes in total; taste the water after 2 hours to decide whether you want a stronger flavor.

Why do mango, peach and ginger work together?

Mango contributes a soft tropical flavor, while peach adds a lighter stone-fruit note. Ginger provides contrast, keeping the combination from tasting too mellow. If you enjoy either fruit on its own, compare the flavor with mango infused water or peach infused water.

The main benefit of mango peach ginger water is that it provides water, which supports hydration. Steeping is not the same as eating the fruit: the amount of nutrients that transfers into the water is uncertain, and strained water does not provide the fruit's fiber. For a more ginger-forward infusion, see ginger water.

Mango peach ginger water is not a detox treatment. The liver and kidneys do most of the body's detoxification, while the lungs and gut also help eliminate waste.

How should you store mango peach ginger water?

Keep the pitcher covered and refrigerated throughout steeping and storage. 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.

Straining removes the fruit and ginger pieces, but it does not make the water shelf-stable. Refrigerate the strained drink too, and do not leave it at room temperature for more than a few hours.

How can you vary mango peach ginger water?

Make it fruitier

Use a little more mango and a little less peach while keeping the total fruit close to 1 cup per liter. This brings the mango flavor forward without changing the basic method.

Make the ginger milder

Use fewer ginger slices, or remove them after the first taste. The mango and peach can continue steeping in the refrigerator for the remainder of the 2–4-hour window.

Adjust the strength

For a lighter flavor, add a little chilled water after steeping. For a stronger flavor, use the longer refrigerated steep rather than leaving the pitcher on the counter.
