What is passion fruit orange mint water?

Passion fruit orange mint water is drinking water steeped with passion fruit pulp, orange slices and fresh mint. The result is lightly fruity and refreshing, with a tart edge from the passion fruit and a cooling aroma from the mint.

This combination is one of many tropical fruit infused water recipes. Unlike a blended fruit drink, it is served as water, with the fruit and herbs strained out if you prefer.

What ingredients and ratio do you need?

For about 4 servings, use the following:

• Water: 1,000 ml (about 4¼ cups), cold
• Orange: 1 medium orange, about 100 g (about ¾ cup sliced)
• Passion fruit: pulp from about 2 fruits, roughly 35 g (⅛ cup or 2 tablespoons)
• Fresh mint: about 5 g (¼ cup loosely packed, or 8–12 leaves)

The ratio uses roughly one orange and a small handful of mint per litre of water. Passion fruit pulp adds a concentrated tart flavor, so start with the amount above and adjust your next batch to taste. A ripe passion fruit should have fragrant pulp inside; discard its outer skin.

How do you make passion fruit orange mint water?

Hands-on prep: 10 minutes. Chilling: 2–4 hours. Yield: about 1 litre (4¼ cups).

1. Wash the orange, passion fruits and mint under running water. Use a clean pitcher and utensils.
2. Slice the orange into thin rounds or half-rounds. Remove any visible seeds.
3. Cut the passion fruits in half and scoop the pulp and seeds into the pitcher. Leave the skins out.
4. Add the orange slices and mint. Gently press the mint once or twice to release its aroma without tearing it into small pieces.
5. Pour in the cold water, cover the pitcher and refrigerate for 2–4 hours.
6. Strain the fruit and mint, or serve with some pulp if you like its texture. Remove the orange slices by 4 hours to limit bitterness from the peel and pith.

Taste the water after 2 hours. For a stronger infusion, return it to the refrigerator until it reaches the flavor you like, up to 4 hours. Serve cold; the pulp and seeds may settle, so stir before pouring if you have not strained them out.

Why do passion fruit, orange and mint pair well?

Passion fruit gives the water a tart, tropical flavor, while orange adds a softer citrus sweetness. Mint makes the aroma feel fresh without needing added sugar. For a simpler version of each flavor, see passion fruit infused water, orange infused water and mint water.

The main benefit of the finished drink is hydration. Whole passion fruit and oranges contain nutrients and fiber, but the amount that ends up in the water is not established and depends partly on whether you consume the pulp. The liver and kidneys do most of the body’s detoxification; flavored water supports hydration rather than flushing toxins.

How should you store it?

Keep passion fruit orange mint water covered in the refrigerator. For the best flavor, drink it within 24 hours; discard it after 2 days, or sooner if it develops unusual cloudiness, becomes slimy or smells sour.

Fresh passion fruit pulp can make the drink look cloudy from the start. Straining it makes later changes easier to notice. Return the pitcher to the refrigerator promptly after serving rather than leaving it on the counter for hours.

How can you vary the recipe?

Make the citrus gentler

Remove the orange peel and white pith before adding the flesh. This gives the water a softer orange flavor and reduces the chance of bitterness during the 2–4 hour steep.

Adjust the passion fruit and mint

Use less passion fruit pulp for a milder tartness, or add a little more for a fruitier drink. For a subtler mint aroma, use fewer leaves and taste after 2 hours.

Add a fizzy finish

Replace some of the still water with chilled sparkling water, adding it after the fruit and mint have steeped. Keep the total liquid close to 1,000 ml (4¼ cups), and add the sparkling portion just before serving to retain its bubbles.
