Passion Fruit Pear Ginger Water: Recipe

Passion fruit pear ginger water is a fruit-and-ginger infusion that takes 2 hours 10 minutes to 4 hours 10 minutes in total and makes about 4 cups (960 mL).

What is passion fruit pear ginger water?

Passion fruit pear ginger water is chilled water flavored with passion fruit pulp, sliced pear and fresh ginger. The passion fruit adds tartness, the pear brings a mild sweetness, and the ginger gives the drink a gentle warming edge.

It is one of many tropical fruit infused water recipes you can make without a blender. Allow 10 minutes for preparation, followed by 2–4 hours of steeping in the refrigerator.

What ingredients and ratio do you need?

For about 4 cups (960 mL), use:

Water: 960 mL (4 cups), cold
Passion fruit: 60 g (about 1/4 cup) pulp and seeds
Pear: 90 g (about 2/3 cup) thinly sliced, cored pear
Fresh ginger: 10 g (about 2 tablespoons, or 1/8 cup) thinly sliced

The fruit amounts are approximate: passion fruit varies in size, and the volume of pear slices depends on how thinly you cut them. Measure the pulp after scooping it from the fruit. A ripe but firm pear is easy to slice and holds its shape in the pitcher.

This ratio uses about 150 g of fruit and 10 g of ginger for roughly 1 liter of water. Start here, then adjust the fruit or ginger in your next batch to suit your taste.

How do you make passion fruit pear ginger water?

Wash the pear, ginger and outside of any whole passion fruit under running water.
Core and thinly slice the pear, then thinly slice the ginger. Cut open the passion fruit and scoop out the pulp and seeds, if using whole fruit.
Add the passion fruit pulp, pear and ginger to a clean pitcher, then pour in the cold water.
Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for 2–4 hours. Taste after 2 hours and leave it longer if you prefer a stronger infusion.
Stir before serving. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve if you prefer a smoother drink, or leave the fruit and seeds in the pitcher.

Why do passion fruit, pear and ginger pair well?

The sharp, aromatic pulp used in passion fruit infused water gives this combination its tropical flavor. Pear softens that tartness without an added sweetener; for a milder drink, see pear infused water. Fresh ginger adds the spicy note familiar from ginger water.

The main practical benefit is hydration, especially if the flavor helps you enjoy drinking water. The liver and kidneys do most of the body’s detoxification; water supports their normal function rather than cleansing or detoxifying the body on its own.

Whole fruit contains nutrients and fiber, but the amount transferred into steeped water is not known. Eating the fruit and pulp adds more of the ingredients to your serving than straining them out.

How should you store it?

Keep passion fruit pear ginger water covered and refrigerated. Drink it within 24 hours for the best flavor, and discard it after 2 days or sooner if it becomes unexpectedly cloudy, slimy or sour-smelling.

Passion fruit pulp can make the water look cloudy from the start, so look for a change from its original appearance. Do not leave the pitcher at room temperature for more than a few hours. Use a clean glass or spoon each time you serve it.

How can you vary the recipe?

Make it milder

Use less ginger or remove the ginger slices after the first taste. You can also add more cold water to a finished batch if its flavor is stronger than you like.

Make it fruitier

Add a little more pear for a softer flavor, or more passion fruit pulp for a tarter drink. Keep the pitcher refrigerated while the extra fruit steeps.

Serve it sparkling

Prepare the infusion with still water, then add chilled sparkling water to individual glasses just before serving. This lets you adjust the strength while keeping the bubbles fresh.
