What is raspberry mango mint water?

Raspberry mango mint water is plain water steeped with raspberries, mango and fresh mint. The fruit gives the water a gently sweet, tart flavor, while the mint adds a cool aroma. It’s one of many berry infused water recipes you can make without a blender.

The flavor is subtler than juice because the ingredients are steeped rather than blended. You can strain the water for a clear drink or leave the fruit in the pitcher when serving.

What ingredients and ratio do you need?

Use roughly 1 cup of chopped fruit and berries for 4 cups of water. This balance lets each ingredient contribute flavor without crowding the pitcher.

Ingredients

960 mL (4 cups) drinking water
60 g (1/2 cup) fresh raspberries
80 g (1/2 cup) peeled, chopped mango
About 5 g (1/4 cup loosely packed, or 8–12 leaves) fresh mint

Choose ripe mango for a naturally sweet flavor and fresh mint with bright, unwilted leaves. A covered pitcher or large jar gives the ingredients room to move and makes refrigeration easy.

How do you make raspberry mango mint water?

Active prep: 10 minutes
Refrigerated steep: 2–4 hours
Yield: About 4 cups (960 mL)

Rinse the raspberries, mango and mint under cool running water. Gently pat the mint dry.
Peel the mango and cut the flesh into small pieces, discarding the pit.
Add the raspberries, mango and mint to a clean pitcher. Gently press the mint leaves between your fingers to release their aroma.
Pour in the water and stir gently. Cover the pitcher.
Refrigerate for 2–4 hours, tasting after 2 hours to check the flavor.
Serve chilled, straining out the fruit and mint if you prefer.

If you want a clearer drink, pour it through a clean strainer. Avoid squeezing the fruit through the strainer; squeezing adds more fruit solids and calories to the water.

Why do raspberry, mango and mint pair well?

Raspberries bring a tart note that keeps the mango’s sweetness from dominating. If you like that tartness, raspberry infused water puts the berry flavor at the center.

Mango adds a mellow, tropical flavor, especially when ripe. For a simpler fruit-forward combination, see mango infused water.

Mint adds a fresh aroma that balances both fruits. Use it gently: bruising the leaves lightly is enough to release flavor without tearing them into small pieces. For another herb-focused option, see mint water.

The main benefit of raspberry mango mint water is hydration. Whole raspberries and mango contain vitamin C and fiber, but the amount that transfers into steeped water is not established; most of the fiber remains in the fruit. Eating the fruit adds its nutrients and calories, while steeped water without squeezing is usually under 10 kcal per glass.

The liver and kidneys do most of the body’s detoxification, and the lungs and gut help eliminate waste. This drink supports hydration; it does not remove toxins on its own.

How should you store raspberry mango mint water?

Keep raspberry mango mint water covered and refrigerated. Drink it within 24 hours for the best flavor, and discard it after 2 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. Use clean utensils when serving, and return the pitcher to the refrigerator afterward.

How can you vary raspberry mango mint water?

Make it more tart

Use a little more raspberry and a little less mango while keeping the total fruit close to the recipe amount. The drink will taste brighter without needing another ingredient.

Make it fruitier

Choose particularly ripe mango and let the covered pitcher steep for the longer end of the 2–4 hour range. Taste before serving rather than assuming the water needs sweetener.

Adjust the mint

Use fewer mint leaves for a softer herbal note, or use the full amount for a more noticeable aroma. Keep the leaves whole so they are easy to strain out.
