Passion Fruit Apricot Water: Easy Infused Water Recipe

Passion fruit apricot water is chilled water infused with fresh passion fruit pulp and apricot slices; it takes 2 hours 10 minutes in total and makes about 4 cups, or 4 servings.

What is passion fruit apricot water?

Passion fruit apricot water combines the tart flavor of passion fruit with the softer, mellow taste of apricot. The fruit steeps in water rather than being blended into it, making a lightly flavored drink.

It is one option among tropical fruit infused water recipes. This version needs about 10 minutes of hands-on preparation, followed by at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.

What ingredients and ratio do you need?

For about 4 servings, use:

950 ml (4 cups) drinking water
120 g (about 3/4 cup) sliced fresh apricot, with the pit removed
30 g (2 tablespoons, or 1/8 cup) fresh passion fruit pulp, including seeds

The ratio is approximately 150 g of prepared fruit to 950 ml of water. The yield is approximate because the fruit absorbs some water, and some pulp may remain in the pitcher or strainer.

Choose ripe apricots that smell fragrant and yield slightly to gentle pressure. Use passion fruit with aromatic pulp; the fruit's wrinkled exterior can be normal when ripe. If either fruit is spoiled, discard it rather than adding it to the pitcher.

How do you make passion fruit apricot water?

Wash your hands, the apricots and the outside of the passion fruit under running water. Use a clean pitcher and utensils.
Slice the apricots and discard their pits. Measure 120 g (about 3/4 cup) of slices.
Cut the passion fruit open and scoop out 30 g (2 tablespoons) of pulp and seeds. Discard the rind.
Combine the apricot slices, passion fruit pulp and 950 ml (4 cups) of water in the pitcher. Stir gently and cover.
Refrigerate for 2–4 hours, then stir and pour through a strainer if you prefer a clearer drink. Serve cold.

The flavor will develop as the fruit sits in the water. Taste after 2 hours; if you want a stronger infusion, return the covered pitcher to the refrigerator for up to 4 hours of steeping. Straining removes loose pulp and seeds, while leaving them in gives the drink more texture.

Why do passion fruit and apricot pair well?

Passion fruit brings a bright, tart note that balances apricot's gentler sweetness. Slicing the apricot exposes more of its flesh to the water, while the passion fruit pulp disperses throughout the pitcher. The result is more delicate than juice because the fruit is steeped, not squeezed or blended.

The main benefit of the finished drink is hydration. Whole passion fruit and apricot provide nutrients, including fiber and vitamin C, but steeped water does not contain all the nutrients in the fruit. Eating the fruit is different from straining it out and drinking only the water.

Water supports normal body functions, including those of the liver and kidneys, which do most of the body's detoxification. For a simpler infusion, see passion fruit infused water or apricot infused water.

How should you store passion fruit apricot water?

Keep the pitcher covered and refrigerated from the start of steeping. Drink the infusion within 24 hours for the best flavor. Discard it after 2–3 days from preparation, or sooner if it becomes cloudy, slimy or develops an off or sour smell.

Do not leave the pitcher at room temperature for more than a few hours. Straining the fruit does not reset the storage time; keep any strained water refrigerated, too. If you serve it in glasses, return the remaining pitcher to the refrigerator promptly.

How can you vary passion fruit apricot water?

Make it more tart

Use slightly more passion fruit pulp and a little less apricot, keeping the total prepared fruit close to 150 g per 950 ml of water. Taste after the initial 2-hour steep before deciding whether to leave it longer.

Make the apricot flavor more prominent

Reverse the balance: use more apricot and less passion fruit within the same approximate fruit-to-water ratio. Thin slices distribute the apricot throughout the pitcher without needing to mash it.

Change the texture

For a clearer drink, strain out both the slices and passion fruit seeds after steeping. For a fruitier-looking glass, leave the pulp in and stir before pouring; remember that any fruit you eat adds to what you consume.
