What is raspberry kiwi ginger water?

Raspberry kiwi ginger water is plain water infused with raspberries, sliced kiwi and fresh ginger. The fruit lends a sweet-tart flavor, while the ginger adds a gentle warmth without making the drink hot.

It is one of many berry infused water recipes you can prepare in a pitcher. The fruit is steeped rather than blended, so the result is lighter and less pulpy than a smoothie.

What ingredients and ratio do you need?

For approximately 4 servings, use:

Water: 1 liter (about 4¼ cups), cold
Raspberries: 75 g (about ½ cup)
Kiwi: 75 g (about ½ cup), peeled and sliced
Fresh ginger: 10 g (about 2 tablespoons thinly sliced, or a 1-inch piece)

The raspberries and kiwi together make about 150 g (1 cup) of fruit per liter of water. This gives the infusion a fruit-forward flavor without crowding the pitcher. You can use a little less ginger if you prefer a milder drink.

Choose ripe but firm fruit for a fresh flavor and easier straining. Use a clean pitcher or jar large enough to hold the water and ingredients, with a lid for refrigeration.

How do you make raspberry kiwi ginger water?

Wash your hands and clean the pitcher. Rinse the raspberries gently under running water, and rinse the whole kiwi and ginger before cutting.
Prepare the ingredients. Peel and slice the kiwi, then thinly slice the ginger. Leave the raspberries whole for a clearer drink, or gently press a few for more berry flavor.
Combine the raspberries, kiwi and ginger in the pitcher. Pour in 1 liter (about 4¼ cups) of cold water and stir gently.
Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for 2–4 hours. Taste after 2 hours; leave it longer within that range if you want a stronger infusion.
Strain the fruit and ginger if desired, then serve the water chilled in 4 glasses. Add ice to individual glasses if you like.

Allow about 10 minutes for preparation and at least 2 hours for refrigerated steeping. The yield is approximate, particularly if you serve the drink with fruit or ice in the glass.

Why do raspberry, kiwi and ginger work together?

Raspberries bring a fragrant, tart berry note, while kiwi adds a milder sweet-tart taste. Fresh ginger balances both with a spicy edge. Thin slices expose more ginger to the water, so you can adjust its intensity by changing the amount or steeping time.

The main benefit of raspberry kiwi ginger water is hydration. The fruit contains nutrients, but the amount that passes into the water during steeping is uncertain; the drink should not be assumed to contain all the nutrients or fiber in the fruit. There is no evidence that this particular infusion detoxifies the body: the liver and kidneys do most of that work, with help from the lungs and gut.

How should you store raspberry kiwi ginger water?

Keep the pitcher covered and refrigerated while it steeps and after serving. For the best flavor, drink it within 24 hours of making it. Discard it after 2–3 days, or sooner if it becomes cloudy, slimy or sour-smelling; cloudiness from gently pressed fruit can also occur during preparation.

Do not leave the pitcher at room temperature for more than a few hours. If you have a kiwi allergy, avoid this recipe and choose ingredients you know are safe for you.

How can you vary raspberry kiwi ginger water?

Make it more berry-forward

Use more raspberries and less kiwi while keeping the combined fruit amount near 150 g (about 1 cup) per liter of water. Pressing a few raspberries also adds flavor, though it makes the drink less clear.

Soften the ginger flavor

Start with about 5 g (1 tablespoon) of sliced ginger and taste after 2 hours. You can add more ginger to the next batch if you want a stronger kick.

Add fresh mint

Rinse and add about 8 mint leaves before refrigerating. The mint adds a cooling note while keeping raspberry, kiwi and ginger as the main flavors.
