Pineapple Passion Fruit Mint Water: Easy Recipe

Pineapple passion fruit mint water is a fruit-and-herb infused drink that takes 2 hours 10 minutes to prepare, including chilling, and yields about 1 liter, or 4 servings. It’s one of many tropical fruit infused water recipes you can make without a blender or added sugar.

What is pineapple passion fruit mint water?

Pineapple passion fruit mint water combines cold drinking water with pineapple pieces, passion fruit pulp and fresh mint leaves. As the mixture chills, the ingredients lend their flavor to the water.

The finished drink is lightly flavored rather than thick like juice. You can strain out the fruit and mint before serving, or leave them in for a more rustic pitcher.

What ingredients and ratio do you need?

Use about 150 g of fruit and 8–12 mint leaves for 1 liter of water. The pineapple supplies most of the fruit, while a smaller amount of passion fruit adds tartness and seeds.

Cold drinking water: 1 liter (about 4 1/4 cups)
Fresh pineapple: 120 g (about 3/4 cup), peeled and cut into small pieces
Fresh passion fruit pulp: 30 g (about 1/8 cup or 2 tablespoons), with seeds
Fresh mint: 5 g (about 1/4 cup loosely packed, or 8–12 leaves)

The amount of pulp in a passion fruit varies, so measure the scooped pulp rather than relying on a particular number of fruits. A pitcher or jar with a lid and a strainer are useful, but no special equipment is needed.

How do you make pineapple passion fruit mint water?

Rinse the pineapple, passion fruit and mint under running water. Wash the outside of the fruits before cutting them.
Cut the pineapple, removing the peel and tough core, and measure 120 g (about 3/4 cup) of small pieces.
Scoop 30 g (about 1/8 cup) of passion fruit pulp and seeds into a clean pitcher. Add the pineapple and mint.
Pour in 1 liter (about 4 1/4 cups) of cold drinking water and stir gently. Cover the pitcher.
Refrigerate for 2 hours, then taste. For a stronger infusion, leave it in the fridge for up to 4 hours total.
Strain the mixture if you prefer a clearer drink, or serve it with the fruit and mint. Keep the pitcher refrigerated between servings.

Why do pineapple, passion fruit and mint pair well?

Pineapple brings a sweet, mellow fruit flavor, while passion fruit adds a sharper, tangy note. Mint gives the blend a fresh herbal finish without making it taste like a smoothie. The same pineapple flavor is the starting point for pineapple infused water.

Passion fruit pulp adds visible seeds and a little texture; strain the pitcher if you prefer to drink without them. For a simpler take on its tart flavor, see passion fruit infused water. Mint’s aroma complements both fruits, as it does in mint water.

The main benefit of this drink is hydration. Whole pineapple contains vitamin C, and passion fruit contains fiber, but the amount transferred into infused water is uncertain. The liver and kidneys do most of the body’s detoxification, while the lungs and gut help eliminate waste; this drink supports hydration rather than cleansing the body.

How should you store it?

Keep the covered pitcher refrigerated and drink it within 24 hours for the best flavor. Discard it after 2 days, or sooner if it becomes cloudy, slimy or sour-smelling.

Do not leave the prepared drink at room temperature for more than 2 hours. If you want to keep the flavor from changing as it sits, strain out the fruit and mint after steeping, then return the water to the refrigerator. If you are allergic to any of the ingredients, avoid the drink.

How can you vary the recipe?

Make the flavor lighter or stronger

For a lighter drink, taste after 2 hours and strain when you like the flavor. For a stronger version, steep for the full 4 hours or use slightly more fruit and mint in the same amount of water.

Change the texture

Leave the passion fruit seeds in the pitcher for texture, or pour the infusion through a fine strainer before serving. Gently stirring keeps the drink lighter; pressing the pulp releases more fruit into the water and can add more sugar and calories.

Adjust the serving size

For a larger pitcher, increase the water, fruit and mint in the same proportions. Give the ingredients enough room to circulate, and refrigerate the mixture while it steeps rather than leaving it on the counter.
