What is strawberry passion fruit ginger water?

Strawberry passion fruit ginger water is plain water flavored with sliced strawberries, passion fruit pulp and sliced fresh ginger. The ingredients steep together in the refrigerator, allowing their flavors to infuse the water.

Unlike a smoothie, the mixture is not blended. You can strain it before serving or leave the fruit and seeds in the glass for a more textured drink.

What ingredients and ratio do you need?

Use about 150 g of fruit and 10 g of fresh ginger for 1 liter of water. This ratio gives the fruit room to flavor the water without making the ginger the dominant taste.

Water: 1 liter (about 4¼ US cups)
Strawberries: 120 g (about ¾ cup sliced)
Passion fruit pulp and seeds: 30 g (about 2 tablespoons, or ⅛ cup)
Fresh ginger: 10 g (about 2 tablespoons thinly sliced, or ⅛ cup)

Choose ripe strawberries and passion fruit for the fullest flavor. The pulp and seeds are the edible part of the passion fruit; discard the rind rather than adding it to the pitcher.

How do you make strawberry passion fruit ginger water?

Prep time: about 10 minutes
Refrigerated steep: 2 hours
Total time: 2 hours 10 minutes
Yield: about 1 liter, or 4 servings

Wash your hands, then rinse the strawberries, whole passion fruit and ginger under running water. Use a clean pitcher and utensils.
Slice the strawberries and ginger thinly. Cut open the passion fruit and scoop out the pulp and seeds.
Add the strawberries, passion fruit pulp and ginger to the pitcher, then pour in the water.
Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for 2 hours. For a stronger flavor, continue steeping in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours.
Taste the water and strain out the solids if you prefer a clearer drink. Passion fruit pulp can make the water naturally cloudy.
Serve chilled, with the fruit and seeds left in or removed according to your preference.

Why do these ingredients pair well?

Strawberries bring a mild sweetness that softens passion fruit’s tart, tropical flavor. In strawberry infused water, sliced berries provide the main fruit note; here, they also balance the sharper pulp.

Passion fruit adds acidity and aroma, while its seeds give the drink texture if you leave them in. For a simpler version of that flavor, see passion fruit infused water.

Fresh ginger adds a warm, lightly spicy finish. Thin slices distribute its flavor through the water; use fewer slices if you prefer a gentler drink, or explore ginger water for a simpler infusion.

The main established benefit of this recipe is hydration. The liver and kidneys do most of the body’s detoxification, while the lungs and gut also help eliminate waste; there is no evidence that this drink detoxifies the body better than plain water. Whole fruit contains nutrients, but the amount that transfers into infused water is uncertain and depends partly on whether you consume the fruit.

How should you store it?

Keep strawberry passion fruit ginger water covered and refrigerated. Drink it within 24 hours for the best flavor, and discard it after 2–3 days or sooner if it develops an unexpected sour smell, becomes slimy or shows other signs of spoilage.

Return the pitcher to the refrigerator promptly after serving; do not leave it at room temperature for more than a few hours. Straining the fruit can make pouring easier, but it does not make the drink shelf-stable.

How can you vary the recipe?

Make it fruitier

Add a little more strawberry or passion fruit pulp to the same amount of water. The pulp gives a more noticeable tartness, while extra strawberries make the flavor rounder and sweeter.

Adjust the ginger

Start with fewer ginger slices if you want just a hint of warmth. For a more pronounced ginger flavor, use the full amount and taste after the longer refrigerated steep.

Change the texture

Strain the finished infusion through a fine sieve for a smoother drink. Leave the pulp and seeds in if you enjoy their texture, and stir gently before pouring because they can settle in the pitcher.
