Raspberry Apple Mint Water: Easy Infused Water Recipe

Raspberry apple mint water is a fruit-and-herb-infused drink that takes 2 hours 10 minutes total, including 2 hours of chilling, and yields about 1 liter (4 servings).

What is raspberry apple mint water?

Raspberry apple mint water combines fresh raspberries, sliced apple and mint leaves with cold water. As the mixture chills, the ingredients give the water a light fruity flavor and a fresh mint aroma.

It is an unsweetened option for anyone who finds plain water unappealing. For more combinations, browse these berry infused water recipes.

What ingredients and ratio do you need?

This recipe uses about 150 g of fruit and 5 g of mint per 1 liter of water. The cup measures are approximate; use the gram measures if you want to reproduce the same balance.

• Water: 1 liter (about 4¼ cups), cold
• Raspberries: 75 g (about ⅔ cup)
• Apple: 75 g (about ⅔ cup), thinly sliced, with the core removed
• Fresh mint: 5 g (about ¼ cup loosely packed leaves)

Choose an apple you enjoy eating: a tart one gives the drink a sharper flavor, while a sweeter one makes it taste softer. Fresh or unsweetened frozen raspberries both work; frozen berries may color the water more quickly as they thaw.

Why do raspberry, apple and mint work together?

Raspberries bring a tangy berry note, while apple adds a gentler fruit flavor. Mint adds a fresh aroma without needing sweetener. If you particularly like the berry flavor, see raspberry infused water; for a milder fruit base, explore apple infused water.

The main benefit of the drink is hydration. Making water more enjoyable may help you drink it regularly; mint water offers another way to add a fresh flavor.

Whole raspberries and apples contain fiber, but strained infused water should not be assumed to provide the same nutrients as the fruit. The drink does not cleanse the body: the liver and kidneys do most of its detoxification, while the lungs and gut also help eliminate waste.

How should you store raspberry apple mint water?

Keep the pitcher refrigerated and drink it within 24 hours for the best flavor. Discard it after 2–3 days, or sooner if it becomes cloudy, slimy or sour-smelling. Return the pitcher to the refrigerator promptly after serving rather than leaving it on the counter.

Straining removes the fruit and leaves but does not reset the storage time. If you make the recipe ahead, note when you prepared it so you can use it while it is fresh.

How can you vary raspberry apple mint water?

Make the berry flavor stronger

Add a few more raspberries or lightly press some against the side of the pitcher before chilling. Pressing the fruit can release more juice and add calories compared with simply steeping it.

Adjust the apple

Use a tart apple for contrast with the raspberries, or a sweeter variety for a rounder flavor. Thin slices expose more surface to the water than thick chunks, making them a useful choice for this short infusion.

Change the mint intensity

Use fewer leaves for a subtle aroma, or add a little more if you prefer a mint-forward pitcher. Start with the suggested amount when serving guests, then adjust the next batch to your taste.
