What is strawberry peach mint water?

Strawberry peach mint water is cold water steeped with sliced strawberries, peach and fresh mint. The fruit gives the water a light sweetness, while the mint adds a cooling aroma.

It is one of many berry infused water recipes that add flavor without requiring a sweetener. The fruit is steeped rather than blended, so the finished drink is lighter than a smoothie or juice.

What ingredients and ratio do you need?

Use approximately 1 cup of sliced fruit and a small handful of mint per liter of water. This recipe divides the fruit evenly between strawberries and peach.

Water: 1 liter, or about 4¼ cups, cold
Strawberries: 75 g, or about ½ cup sliced
Peach: 75 g, or about ½ cup sliced, with the pit removed
Fresh mint: about 5 g, or ¼ cup loosely packed leaves, roughly 8–12 leaves

A ripe peach and fragrant strawberries give the water more flavor. Choose fresh mint leaves without slimy or discolored patches, and use a clean pitcher large enough to hold the water and fruit.

How do you make strawberry peach mint water?

Wash your hands, then rinse the strawberries, peach and mint under running water. Rub the fruit gently; do not use soap on the produce.
Slice the strawberries and peach, removing the strawberry tops and peach pit.
Press the mint leaves gently between your hands to release their aroma without tearing them into small pieces.
Add the fruit and mint to a clean pitcher, then pour in the cold water and stir gently.
Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for 2 hours. For a stronger infusion, leave it in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours before serving.
Pour into glasses, straining out the fruit and mint if you prefer. Keep any remaining water refrigerated.

The 2-hour steep gives the ingredients time to flavor the water without adding much work. Taste it after that point and continue steeping if you want a more pronounced fruit flavor.

Why do strawberry, peach and mint pair well?

Strawberries bring a slightly tart berry note that balances the softer sweetness of peach. If you especially like that berry flavor, strawberry infused water uses the same basic approach with fewer ingredients.

Peach adds a mellow, fragrant flavor without overpowering the other ingredients. The same gentle sweetness is the appeal of peach infused water.

Mint gives the pitcher a fresh finish. Pressing the leaves lightly helps release their aroma; for a more herb-forward drink, see mint water.

The main benefit of strawberry peach mint water is that it provides hydration in a flavorful, unsweetened drink. Water supports normal body functions, including those of the liver and kidneys, which do most of the body's detoxification. The lungs and gut also help eliminate waste; no infused drink needs to flush toxins from the body.

The fruit contains nutrients and fiber, but the amount that transfers into steeped water is uncertain. Eating the fruit provides more of its fiber than drinking the strained water alone.

How should you store strawberry peach mint water?

Keep the pitcher covered and refrigerated, and drink the water within 24 hours for the best flavor. Discard it after 2 days, or sooner if it becomes cloudy, slimy or sour-smelling.

Do not leave the pitcher at room temperature for more than 2 hours. If you strain the fruit out, continue to refrigerate the water rather than treating it as shelf-stable.

How can you vary strawberry peach mint water?

For a berry-forward pitcher, use more strawberries and fewer peach slices while keeping the combined fruit amount near 1 cup, or 150 g, per liter of water. For a softer peach flavor, reverse the balance.

Use fewer mint leaves for a subtler herbal note, or leave them whole rather than pressing them. You can also strain the infusion after steeping if you want a clear pour without fruit or herbs in the glass.
