What is strawberry kiwi water?

Strawberry kiwi water is made by steeping sliced strawberries and kiwi in water in the refrigerator. The fruit lends a light, sweet-tart flavor without blending or adding a sweetener.

It is a simple option among berry infused water recipes. The flavor is subtler than juice: the fruit stays in pieces, and you can strain it out before serving.

What ingredients and ratio do you need?

For about 4 servings, gather:

950 mL water (about 4 US cups), chilled
100 g strawberries (about 2/3 cup), hulled and sliced
50 g kiwi (about 1/3 cup), peeled and sliced

This uses about 1 cup of sliced fruit for nearly 1 liter of water. The measurements are flexible because the size and shape of the slices affect how much fits in a cup. Use the weights if you have a kitchen scale, or use the cup measures as an easy guide.

Choose ripe, firm fruit for a pleasant flavor and slices that hold their shape. A clean pitcher or jar with a lid gives the fruit room to steep and makes refrigerated storage easier.

How do you make strawberry kiwi water?

Allow about 10 minutes for preparation and at least 2 hours for refrigerated steeping.

Wash the strawberries and kiwi under running water. Wash your hands and use a clean knife, cutting board and pitcher.
Hull and slice the strawberries. Peel and slice the kiwi, then measure the prepared fruit.
Add the strawberries and kiwi to the pitcher. Pour in the chilled water and stir gently.
Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for 2–4 hours. Taste after 2 hours; leave it longer if you prefer a stronger fruit flavor.
Pour the water into glasses, straining out the fruit if you prefer. Keep any remaining water refrigerated.

For the clearest drink, pour through a fine strainer. If you enjoy the fruit in the glass, leave the slices in and serve with a spoon. Eating the fruit adds its calories and nutrients to what you consume.

Why do strawberries and kiwi pair well?

Strawberries bring a familiar berry sweetness, while kiwi adds a sharper, tropical-tasting note. Together they make a gently flavored drink that can be an appealing way to drink water without added sugar.

Both fruits contain vitamin C when eaten, but the amount that transfers into steeped water is not established here. For more of the fruit’s nutrients and fiber, eat the pieces rather than relying on the infusion alone. The drink supports hydration; it does not replace the liver and kidneys, which do most of the body’s detoxification.

If you want to focus on one flavor, explore strawberry infused water or kiwi water.

How should you store strawberry kiwi water?

Keep strawberry kiwi water covered and refrigerated, and drink it within 24 hours for the best flavor. You can strain out the fruit after steeping if you prefer, but continue to refrigerate the water.

Discard it after 2–3 days, or sooner if it becomes cloudy, slimy or sour-smelling. Do not leave it at room temperature for more than a few hours. Use a clean glass when serving rather than drinking directly from the storage pitcher.

How can you vary strawberry kiwi water?

Add fresh mint

Add a small sprig of washed fresh mint with the fruit before refrigerating. Mint gives the infusion a cooler herbal note without requiring a sweetener. Remove it with the fruit when the flavor suits you.

Adjust the fruit balance

Use a little more strawberry and a little less kiwi for a softer berry flavor, or reverse the balance for more tartness. Keep the total close to 1 cup of sliced fruit per pitcher, then taste after steeping before making further changes.

Add bubbles when serving

Fill most of a glass with the finished infusion, then top it with chilled sparkling water. Adding the sparkling water at the end helps preserve its fizz and gives you control over how strong the fruit flavor tastes.
