What is strawberry kiwi ginger water?

Strawberry kiwi ginger water is water steeped with sliced strawberries, kiwi, and fresh ginger. The fruit gives it a lightly sweet, tart taste, while ginger adds a gentle warming note without making the drink hot.

It is one of many ways to make berry infused water recipes. Unlike a smoothie, the ingredients are steeped rather than blended, so the finished water is light and the fruit pieces can be strained out before serving.

What ingredients and ratio do you need?

For about 4 one-cup servings, use:

950 mL (4 cups) chilled drinking water
100 g (about 2/3 cup) sliced strawberries
50 g (about 1/3 cup) sliced kiwi, peeled if preferred
10 g (about 1 tablespoon) thinly sliced fresh ginger, from a piece about 2.5 cm (1 inch) long

The fruit adds up to roughly 150 g (1 cup) per 950 mL (4 cups) of water. That gives the water a subtle flavor; it will not taste as concentrated as fruit juice. Use a clean pitcher with room for both the water and the sliced ingredients.

How do you make strawberry kiwi ginger water?

Wash your hands, pitcher, and cutting utensils. Rinse the strawberries, kiwi, and ginger under running water, rubbing the kiwi and ginger well before cutting.
Slice the strawberries and kiwi. Peel the kiwi first if you prefer, and cut the ginger into thin slices.
Add the prepared fruit and ginger to the pitcher, then pour in the chilled drinking water.
Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for 2 hours. For a stronger infusion, steep for up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
Stir gently and pour into glasses. Strain out the pieces if you prefer a clearer drink.

The 10 minutes of preparation includes washing and slicing; the remaining 2 hours are for refrigerated steeping. The yield is approximate because some water can remain around the fruit in the pitcher.

Why do strawberry, kiwi, and ginger work together?

Strawberries bring a familiar berry sweetness, kiwi adds a tangy note, and ginger balances both with a little spice. Slicing the ingredients exposes more surface to the water while leaving pieces large enough to strain.

The same fruit-forward approach works in strawberry infused water and kiwi water, while ginger water highlights ginger’s sharper flavor on its own. Together, the ingredients make plain water more interesting without needing sweetener.

The main benefit of the finished drink is hydration. Whole strawberries and kiwi contain vitamin C and fiber, but the amounts that pass into steeped water are unknown; the water should not be counted as a significant source of either. Eating the fruit provides its fiber.

The liver and kidneys do most of the body’s detoxification, while the lungs and gut also help eliminate waste. Strawberry kiwi ginger water can support hydration, but there is no evidence that this particular infusion speeds up detoxification.

How should you store strawberry kiwi ginger water?

Keep the pitcher covered in the refrigerator, including while it steeps. Drink the water within 24 hours for the best flavor. Discard it by 3 days at the latest, or sooner if it becomes cloudy, slimy, or sour-smelling.

Do not leave the pitcher at room temperature for more than a few hours. If serving outdoors, keep it chilled and return it to the refrigerator rather than letting it sit out for the afternoon.

How can you vary strawberry kiwi ginger water?

Make it milder

Use fewer ginger slices if you want the fruit to stand out. You can also remove the ginger after steeping, then serve the water with the strawberries and kiwi still in the pitcher.

Make the fruit flavor more noticeable

Slice the strawberries and kiwi a little thinner and steep for the full 4 hours in the refrigerator. Stir gently before serving so the softened fruit does not break up too much.

Adjust each glass

For a lighter taste, add a little chilled water to an individual glass. For a fruitier serving, spoon in some of the refrigerated fruit rather than squeezing it into the whole pitcher.
