Raspberry Peach Ginger Water: Recipe and How to Make It

Raspberry peach ginger water is a fruit-and-ginger infused drink that takes 2 hours 10 minutes to make and yields about 4 cups.

What is raspberry peach ginger water?

Raspberry peach ginger water is cold water steeped with raspberries, sliced peach and fresh ginger. The fruit gives it a gentle berry-peach flavor, while ginger adds a little warmth without making the drink hot.

It’s one of many berry infused water recipes you can make without a blender. This version has no added sugar; its flavor is lighter than juice because the ingredients are steeped rather than blended.

What ingredients and ratio do you need?

For about 4 servings of 1 cup each, use:

Cold drinking water: 950 mL (4 cups)
Fresh raspberries: 60 g (about ½ cup)
Fresh peach, pitted and sliced: 75 g (about ½ cup)
Fresh ginger, thinly sliced: 10 g (about 2 tablespoons)

The fruit adds up to about 1 cup per 950 mL of water, with ginger for a spicy accent. Measurements are approximate: the size of the berries and peach slices affects how much fits in a cup.

Choose a ripe peach for a fuller flavor. A firm peach is easier to slice, but an underripe one may contribute less flavor to the water. Use a pitcher or covered jar large enough to hold the water and fruit comfortably.

How do you make raspberry peach ginger water?

Prep time: 10 minutes
Refrigerated steep: 2 hours
Total time: 2 hours 10 minutes
Yield: About 4 cups, or 4 servings

Wash the raspberries gently under cool running water, and rinse the peach and ginger under running water.
Pit the peach and cut it into thin slices. Thinly slice the ginger.
Add the raspberries, peach and ginger to a pitcher or covered jar, then pour in the water.
Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. For a stronger flavor, steep for up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
Strain into glasses or serve with the fruit in the pitcher. Keep any remaining water refrigerated.

Why do raspberry, peach and ginger work together?

Raspberries bring a tart edge, peach adds a softer fruity note, and ginger gives the finish a mild bite. The balance is similar to raspberry infused water, with the mellow fruitiness of peach infused water.

Fresh ginger makes the drink more aromatic without overwhelming the fruit when sliced thinly. For a simpler ginger flavor, see ginger water.

The main benefit of raspberry peach ginger water is that it can make plain water more appealing to drink. Staying hydrated supports normal body functions, including the work of the liver and kidneys, which do most of the body’s detoxification. There is no specific evidence that this combination detoxifies the body.

The whole fruit contains nutrients and fiber, but the amounts that transfer into steeped water are not established. The drink is usually very low in calories when the fruit is steeped rather than blended or squeezed; eating the fruit adds its calories and fiber.

How should you store raspberry peach ginger water?

Keep raspberry peach ginger water covered and refrigerated. For the best flavor, drink it within 24 hours; discard it after 2–3 days, or sooner if it becomes cloudy, slimy or sour-smelling.

Refrigerate the pitcher promptly after making it, rather than leaving it on the counter to steep. If you serve it at a gathering, return it to the refrigerator rather than leaving it at room temperature for more than 2 hours.

You can strain out the fruit after steeping if you prefer a clearer drink. If you eat the fruit, keep it refrigerated too and follow the same storage guidance.

How can you vary raspberry peach ginger water?

Make it more berry-forward

Use a little more raspberry and a little less peach, keeping the total fruit close to 1 cup per 950 mL of water. This gives the drink a tarter flavor while retaining the peach and ginger notes.

Adjust the ginger

Use fewer ginger slices for a gentler drink, or slice them slightly thinner if you want the ginger to be more noticeable. Start with a small adjustment; you can make a stronger batch next time if you prefer.

Use frozen fruit

Frozen raspberries or peach slices can replace fresh fruit in similar amounts. Add them directly to the pitcher and steep the water in the refrigerator as directed; frozen fruit may soften and make the drink less clear.
