What is pineapple peach water?

Pineapple peach water is plain water steeped with pieces of both fruits. It has a light, fruity flavor rather than the thick texture or concentrated sweetness of juice.

This recipe is one of many tropical fruit infused water recipes. The fruit is steeped in the refrigerator and strained before serving, with no blending or added sweetener.

What ingredients and ratio do you need?

For about 4 cups (950 ml), use:

4 cups (950 ml) drinking water
About 1/2 cup (75 g) fresh pineapple, diced
About 1/2 cup (75 g) fresh peach, sliced

The fruit measurements are approximate; weigh the prepared fruit after removing the pineapple peel and core and the peach pit. Together, the fruits make about 1 cup (150 g), a useful starting ratio for roughly 1 liter of water.

Choose a ripe peach that smells fragrant and gives slightly when pressed. For the pineapple, use ripe, fresh flesh and cut it into small pieces so its flavor can reach the water. A clean, covered pitcher or large jar will hold the mixture while it steeps.

How do you make pineapple peach water?

Rinse the outside of the pineapple and peach under running water.
Prepare the fruit: remove the pineapple peel and core, then dice the flesh. Remove the peach pit and slice the peach.
Measure about 1/2 cup (75 g) of each prepared fruit and put the pieces in a clean pitcher.
Pour in 4 cups (950 ml) of drinking water and cover the pitcher.
Refrigerate for 2–4 hours, depending on how pronounced you want the flavor.
Strain out the fruit and serve the water chilled, or keep it covered in the refrigerator for later.

The hands-on preparation takes about 10 minutes; allow at least 2 hours more for the infusion. Taste after 2 hours and leave it longer, up to 4 hours, if you prefer a stronger fruit flavor. Straining makes the drink easier to pour and keeps the fruit pieces out of each glass.

Why do pineapple and peach work well together?

Pineapple brings a bright, tart edge, while peach adds a softer, fragrant sweetness. Steeping gives pineapple peach water a subtler flavor than eating either fruit or adding its juice.

Both whole fruits contain vitamin C, but the amount that passes into the water during steeping is unknown. The drink supports hydration; it does not perform a special detox, since the liver and kidneys do most of the body's detoxification.

How should you store pineapple peach water?

Keep pineapple peach water covered and refrigerated, including while it steeps. Drink it within 24 hours of preparation for the best flavor. Discard any remaining water after 2–3 days, or sooner if it becomes cloudy, slimy or sour-smelling.

Do not leave the pitcher at room temperature for more than a few hours. If you want to take a serving with you, pour it into a clean container and keep it chilled rather than leaving the whole pitcher out.

How can you vary pineapple peach water?

Make pineapple more prominent

Use about 2/3 cup (100 g) pineapple and 1/3 cup (50 g) peach with the same 4 cups (950 ml) water. This keeps the total fruit amount similar while giving the infusion a brighter pineapple flavor.

Let peach lead

Reverse the proportions: use about 1/3 cup (50 g) pineapple and 2/3 cup (100 g) peach. Choose a fragrant, ripe peach for the clearest peach flavor.

Adjust the strength

For a lighter infusion, add more drinking water after straining. For a more noticeable flavor without changing the ingredients, use the longer end of the 2–4 hour refrigerated steep and taste before serving.
