Passion Fruit Apple Mint Water: Easy Recipe

Passion fruit apple mint water is a chilled fruit-and-herb infusion that takes 2 hours 10 minutes, including steeping, and makes about 1 liter (4¼ cups).

What is passion fruit apple mint water?

This infusion combines tangy passion fruit pulp, crisp apple slices and fresh mint in cold water. It is one of many tropical fruit infused water recipes that use fruit for flavor rather than a sweetened syrup.

The water takes on flavor as it sits in the refrigerator. You can strain out the fruit and mint before serving or leave some pulp in each glass for a more pronounced passion fruit taste.

What ingredients and ratio do you need?

For approximately four servings, use:

1 liter water (4¼ cups)
100 g apple, thinly sliced (about ¾ cup)
50 g passion fruit pulp and seeds (about ¼ cup)
5 g fresh mint leaves (about ¼ cup loosely packed, or 8–12 leaves)

This ratio uses about 150 g of fruit per liter of water. Choose a sweet apple for a softer flavor or a tart apple for a sharper one. The amount of pulp in a passion fruit varies, so measure the scooped pulp rather than relying on a particular number of fruits.

A pitcher with a lid and a fine strainer are useful. You can use a large jar instead of a pitcher, as long as it has room for the water and ingredients.

How do you make passion fruit apple mint water?

Rinse the apple, passion fruit and mint under running water. Use a clean pitcher and utensils.
Prepare the fruit: core and thinly slice the apple, then cut open the passion fruit and scoop out the pulp and seeds. Discard the passion fruit rind.
Combine the apple, passion fruit pulp and mint in the pitcher. Gently press the mint leaves with a spoon, then pour in the water.
Refrigerate the covered pitcher for 2 hours. For a stronger infusion, steep it for up to 4 hours.
Strain into glasses if you prefer less fruit and pulp, or serve with some of the fruit left in the water.

The 2-hour steep gives a total preparation time of about 2 hours 10 minutes; a 4-hour steep brings the total to about 4 hours 10 minutes. To explore another ingredient combination, try the ai infused water generator.

Why do passion fruit, apple and mint pair well?

Passion fruit adds tartness and a tropical aroma, while apple gives the infusion a milder, rounded fruit flavor. Mint brings a fresh finish without needing a sweetener. For a simpler version of either fruit flavor, see passion fruit infused water or apple infused water.

The main benefit of the drink is hydration. Its flavor may make plain water more appealing, but there is no need to treat it as a detox treatment: the liver and kidneys do most of the body’s detoxification, while the lungs and gut also help eliminate waste.

Whole apple and passion fruit contain fiber, but much of it remains in the fruit rather than transferring to strained water. If you eat the fruit or leave pulp in your glass, you consume more of the fruit itself. For a more herb-forward infusion, see mint water.

How should you store it?

Keep the pitcher covered and refrigerated, and drink the water within 24 hours for the best flavor. You can strain out the fruit and mint after steeping if you prefer a lighter taste or want to make pouring easier.

Discard any remaining water after 2 days, or sooner if it becomes unexpectedly cloudy, slimy or sour-smelling. Passion fruit pulp can make the drink look cloudy from the start, so strain it if you want a clearer infusion. Return the pitcher to the refrigerator promptly after serving rather than leaving it at room temperature.

How can you vary the recipe?

Make the apple flavor more prominent

Use a little more apple and a little less passion fruit, keeping the total amount of fruit roughly the same. A sweet apple makes the finished water taste gentler without adding sugar.

Make it more minty

Gently press the mint before steeping to release more of its aroma. Taste the water after 2 hours before adding more mint; the flavor can become stronger as it sits.

Serve it with less pulp

Pour the finished infusion through a fine strainer before serving. This removes most of the seeds and loose fruit pieces while retaining the infused flavor.
