Pear Ginger Cinnamon Water: Recipe and How to Make It

Pear ginger cinnamon water is a fruit-and-spice-infused drink that takes 2 hours 10 minutes to prepare and makes about 1 liter (4¼ cups).

What is pear ginger cinnamon water?

Pear ginger cinnamon water is chilled water flavored with fresh pear, sliced ginger and cinnamon. It is a variation of pear infused water with a warmer, lightly spicy taste.

The ingredients steep in the refrigerator rather than being blended. The result is subtly flavored water, not a sweetened juice or a concentrated ginger drink. You can serve it with the fruit in the pitcher or strain it first.

What ingredients and ratio do you need?

For about 1 liter (4¼ cups), use:

• Water: 1 liter (4¼ cups), cold and safe to drink
• Pear: about 150 g (1 cup), sliced or chopped
• Fresh ginger: about 10 g (2 tablespoons or ⅛ cup), thinly sliced; approximately a 1-inch piece
• Ground cinnamon: about 2.6 g (1 teaspoon or 1/48 cup); alternatively, use 1 cinnamon stick

Choose a ripe, firm pear for sweetness and slices that hold their shape. Leave the pear skin on for color, but wash it thoroughly and remove the core and seeds. Fresh ginger can also be used with its skin on after washing.

The cup measurements for ginger and cinnamon are approximate and can be awkward to measure. A tablespoon or teaspoon is more practical for these small amounts.

How do you make pear ginger cinnamon water?

Allow about 10 minutes for preparation and 2 hours for chilling and steeping.

1. Wash the pear and ginger under running water. Use a clean pitcher and utensils.
2. Slice the pear, removing its core and seeds, and thinly slice the ginger.
3. Combine the pear, ginger and cinnamon in the pitcher. Pour in the water and stir gently.
4. Refrigerate for 2 hours. For a stronger flavor, steep for up to 4 hours before tasting.
5. Strain if desired, then serve chilled. Return any remaining water to the refrigerator.

Ground cinnamon may float or settle rather than dissolve. Stir before pouring if you like the spice in your glass, or use a fine strainer to remove some of the particles. A cinnamon stick is easier to remove and leaves fewer particles in the water.

Why do pear, ginger and cinnamon pair well?

Pear brings a mild, fruity sweetness, while fresh ginger adds a crisp, peppery note. Cinnamon rounds out the flavor with a familiar warm spice without making the water hot or requiring added sweetener.

The main benefit of pear ginger cinnamon water is that it can make plain water more appealing and help you stay hydrated. There is no established evidence that this particular infusion treats a condition or causes weight loss. Straining and drinking the water is also different from eating the whole pear.

Your liver and kidneys do most of the body's detoxification, while the lungs and gut help eliminate waste. Water supports normal body functions; the added ingredients do not make the drink a cleanse.

How should you store pear ginger cinnamon water?

Keep the pitcher refrigerated during steeping and after serving. Drink the water within 24 hours for the best flavor, and discard any remainder after 2–3 days or sooner if it becomes unusually cloudy, slimy or sour-smelling. Specks from ground cinnamon are expected, but a change in appearance or smell is a reason to discard the infusion.

Keep the pitcher covered and use clean utensils when serving. Return it to the refrigerator promptly rather than leaving it at room temperature for more than a few hours. Straining out the fruit and spices after steeping can keep their flavors from becoming stronger during storage.

How can you vary pear ginger cinnamon water?

Make it milder

Use fewer ginger slices or less ground cinnamon. If using a cinnamon stick, remove it after tasting when the flavor suits you.

Bring out more pear flavor

Cut the pear into smaller pieces to expose more of its flesh to the water. Steep in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours, then taste before deciding whether to strain it.

Adjust the spice

For a more noticeable ginger taste, slice the ginger thinly rather than leaving it in large pieces. If you prefer cinnamon, leave a cinnamon stick in through the longer steep, then remove it before serving.

If you are allergic to pear, ginger or cinnamon, leave that ingredient out or skip the recipe.
