Peach Pear Water: Recipe and How to Make It

Peach pear water is water infused with fresh peach and pear; it takes 2 hours 10 minutes, including chilling, and makes about 4 cups (950 mL).

What is peach pear water?

Peach pear water is a simple fruit-infused water made by steeping slices of both fruits in cold water. The result has a gentle fruit flavor without the thickness of a smoothie or the sweetness of fruit juice.

It’s one of many stone fruit infused water recipes that use fresh fruit to add flavor to plain water. The peach and pear stay in pieces rather than being blended, so the drink remains mostly water.

What ingredients do you need?

For about four 1-cup servings, use:

Peach: 75 g (about ½ cup), sliced, with the pit removed
Pear: 75 g (about ½ cup), sliced, with the core and seeds removed
Drinking water: 950 mL (4 cups), cold

This ratio uses about 1 cup (150 g) of fruit for roughly 1 liter of water. The fruit measurements are approximate because slice sizes vary; a little more or less of either fruit is fine.

Choose ripe, firm fruit for a balance of flavor and easy slicing. You can leave the skins on after washing the fruit, and you do not need to add sugar.

How do you make peach pear water?

Allow about 10 minutes to prepare the fruit and 2 hours for the water to chill.

Rinse the peach and pear under running water.
Slice the fruit, removing the peach pit and the pear core and seeds.
Add the peach and pear slices to a clean pitcher, then pour in the cold water.
Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for 2 hours. For a stronger flavor, steep for up to 4 hours.
Serve the peach pear water cold, with ice if you like.

Thin slices expose more fruit surface to the water, while larger pieces are easier to remove. Taste the water after chilling and decide whether you prefer the lighter flavor at 2 hours or a longer steep next time.

Why do peach and pear pair well?

Peach brings a fragrant, softly sweet flavor, while pear adds a milder, mellow note. Together, they make a subtle infusion that is less sharp than a citrus-based drink.

If you want to compare the flavors, peach infused water highlights the peach on its own, while pear infused water lets the pear take the lead.

The main benefit of peach pear water is hydration. Steeped fruit may add flavor, but the drink should not be assumed to contain all the fiber or nutrients in the fruit; eat the fruit if you want its fiber. The liver and kidneys do most of the body’s detoxification, and the lungs and gut also help eliminate waste. Peach pear water supports hydration rather than flushing toxins.

How should you store peach pear water?

Keep the pitcher covered and refrigerated. Drink peach pear water within 24 hours for the best flavor, and discard it after 2–3 days, or sooner if it becomes cloudy, slimy or sour-smelling.

Do not leave it at room temperature for more than a few hours. You can remove the fruit once the water tastes the way you like, but continue to refrigerate the water and follow the same storage limit.

How can you vary peach pear water?

For a more peach-forward pitcher, use a little more peach and a little less pear. Reverse the balance for a softer pear flavor, keeping the total amount of fruit close to 1 cup (150 g).

For a fresh herbal note, add a few washed mint leaves before chilling. A thin slice of fresh ginger can add warmth; start with a small amount so it does not overpower the fruit. Refrigerate these variations using the same steeping and storage guidance as the basic recipe.
