What is strawberry peach water?

Strawberry peach water is chilled water steeped with sliced strawberries and peaches. The fruit gives it a mild, naturally fruity flavor without blending or squeezing.

It is one of many berry infused water recipes you can make in a pitcher. The finished drink tastes lighter than juice, and the strength depends on the ripeness of the fruit and the steeping time.

What ingredients and ratio do you need?

For about 4 cups of strawberry peach water, use:

• 75 g strawberries, about 1/2 cup sliced
• 75 g peach, about 1/2 cup sliced
• 960 ml water, about 4 US cups

This ratio uses approximately 1 cup of chopped fruit for 1 liter of water. A ripe peach and fragrant strawberries give the water more flavor than underripe fruit, but the recipe does not require a particular variety of either.

Use fresh, sound fruit and remove any damaged areas. You can leave the peach skin on after washing it; remove the pit before slicing. A covered pitcher or food-safe jar with room for the fruit works well.

How do you make strawberry peach water?

Prep time: 10 minutes
Chill time: 2 hours
Total time: 2 hours 10 minutes
Yield: About 4 cups

1. Wash the strawberries and peach under running water, and clean your pitcher or jar.
2. Remove the strawberry tops and the peach pit, then slice the fruit.
3. Add the sliced fruit and 960 ml of water to the pitcher.
4. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. Steep for up to 4 hours for a fuller flavor.
5. Serve chilled, straining out the fruit if you prefer.

Slice the fruit thinly enough to expose its flesh to the water, but there is no need to mash it. The water will remain gently flavored; for a stronger taste, use the longer steep rather than leaving the pitcher at room temperature.

Why do strawberries and peaches pair well?

Strawberries bring a slightly tart berry flavor, while peach adds a softer, sweet-fruit aroma. Together, they make a balanced infusion; strawberry infused water and peach infused water each highlight one of those flavors on its own.

Raw strawberries contain 58.8 mg of vitamin C per 100 g, and raw peaches contain 6.6 mg per 100 g. Those figures describe the fruit, not the infused water: the amount that transfers during steeping is not established here. Eating the fruit provides nutrients and fiber that should not be assumed to be present in the water.

Strawberry peach water can help you stay hydrated, but it has no proven detoxifying advantage over plain water. The liver and kidneys do most of the body’s detoxification; the lungs and gut also help eliminate waste.

How should you store strawberry peach water?

Keep the pitcher refrigerated and drink the water within 24 hours for the best flavor. You can strain out the fruit after steeping or leave it in the covered pitcher while refrigerated.

Discard the infusion 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; return it to the refrigerator promptly after serving.

How can you vary strawberry peach water?

Adjust the fruit balance

Use more strawberries for a brighter berry taste, or more peach for a softer flavor. Keep the total close to 1 cup of sliced fruit for the 960 ml of water so the pitcher has enough room for the infusion.

Add fresh mint

Add about 8–12 washed mint leaves, approximately 5 g, with the fruit before refrigerating. Mint gives the drink a fresh herbal note without changing the basic method.

Serve it with fruit

Leave a few slices in each glass for a more colorful presentation, or strain the water for a smoother drink. If you eat the fruit, its calories and nutrients are separate from those of the steeped water.
