What is raspberry peach water?

Raspberry peach water is a chilled, unsweetened infusion made by steeping fruit in drinking water. The raspberries lend a gently tart flavor, while the peach adds a softer, fragrant note.

Unlike a smoothie, the fruit is not blended into the drink. You can strain it out before serving or leave it in the pitcher while pouring. For more ideas using berries, see these berry infused water recipes.

What ingredients and ratio do you need?

This recipe uses approximately 1 cup of fruit per 1 liter of water. Choose a ripe, fragrant peach for the fullest flavor; a firm peach is easier to slice, but it may taste milder.

Water: 1 liter (4¼ cups)
Raspberries: 60 g (½ cup)
Peach: 75 g (½ cup), sliced

The measurements are approximate, so a little more or less fruit is fine. Use plain drinking water and a clean pitcher with room for both the water and fruit. No sweetener is needed, although the result will taste much lighter than juice.

How do you make raspberry peach water?

Prep time: 10 minutes
Steep time: 2 hours
Total time: 2 hours 10 minutes
Yield: About 4¼ cups (1 liter)

Wash the raspberries and peach under running water. Gently drain the raspberries.
Slice the peach and discard the pit. Leave the raspberries whole for a clearer drink.
Add the fruit to a clean pitcher, then pour in the water.
Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for 2 hours. For a stronger fruit flavor, steep for up to 4 hours.
Strain out the fruit if you like, then pour the raspberry peach water into glasses. Serve chilled or over ice.

For a more noticeable flavor without sweetener, use ripe fruit and allow the full steeping time. If serving over plenty of ice, the drink will become milder as the ice melts.

Why do raspberry and peach work well together?

Raspberry brings tartness and a berry aroma; peach adds a mellow sweetness and a floral fragrance. Together, they make water taste fruity without the heavier texture of blended fruit.

The pairing combines the tart character of raspberry infused water with the gentler flavor of peach infused water. Adjust their proportions in your next pitcher depending on which flavor you prefer.

Raspberries and peaches provide fiber when eaten, but strained infused water contains little fiber. The amounts of other fruit nutrients that transfer into the water are not known. The main benefit of the drink is hydration; the liver and kidneys do most of the body's detoxification.

How should you store raspberry peach water?

Keep raspberry peach water covered in the refrigerator at 4°C (40°F) or below. 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.

Refrigerate the pitcher as soon as you make it rather than leaving it out to steep. If you strain out the fruit after steeping, keep the water chilled and count storage time from when you first prepared it, not from when you strained it.

How can you vary raspberry peach 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 liter of water. This gives the drink a tarter flavor while maintaining a similar strength.

Emphasize the peach

Increase the proportion of peach and reduce the raspberries for a softer flavor. Slice the peach thinly so more of its surface is in contact with the water.

Add fresh mint

Add a small, rinsed sprig of mint with the fruit before refrigerating. Remove it when you strain the fruit, or leave it out if you want the peach and raspberry flavors to remain the focus.
