What is strawberry pineapple mint water?

Strawberry pineapple mint water is cold water flavored with sliced strawberries, pineapple and fresh mint. The ingredients steep in the refrigerator, giving the water a light fruit flavor without blending or squeezing the fruit.

The finished drink is subtle rather than juice-like. You can strain it before serving or leave the fruit and mint in the pitcher for presentation.

What ingredients and ratio do you need?

For about 4 cups (950 mL) of water, use roughly equal amounts of strawberry and pineapple, plus a small handful of mint. The combined fruit quantity is close to 1 cup, a useful starting ratio for a pitcher this size.

• 4 cups (950 mL) cold drinking water
• About 1/2 cup (75 g) sliced strawberries
• About 1/2 cup (75 g) pineapple chunks
• About 1/4 cup loosely packed (5 g) fresh mint leaves, or 8–12 leaves

Use ripe, fresh fruit for the clearest flavor. The fruit measurements are approximate: pieces vary in size, so a kitchen scale is helpful but not essential.

How do you make strawberry pineapple mint water?

Allow about 10 minutes to prepare the ingredients, followed by 2–4 hours of refrigerated steeping.

1. Wash the strawberries and mint under running water, and wash the outside of the pineapple before cutting it.
2. Slice the strawberries and cut the pineapple flesh into small chunks, discarding the strawberry tops and pineapple peel and core.
3. Bruise the mint leaves gently between your fingers to release their aroma.
4. Combine the fruit and mint in a clean pitcher, then pour in the cold water.
5. Refrigerate the pitcher for 2–4 hours to let the flavors infuse.
6. Serve the water chilled, straining out the fruit and mint if you prefer.

Taste the water after 2 hours. If you want a stronger flavor, return it to the refrigerator for the rest of the steeping time rather than leaving it on the counter.

Why do strawberry, pineapple and mint pair well?

Strawberry lends a soft berry flavor, while pineapple adds a brighter, tart-sweet note. Mint gives the combination a fresh finish without requiring a sweetener. The balance is lighter than either fruit juice or a blended drink.

The same strawberry flavor works on its own in strawberry infused water, while pineapple infused water highlights the tropical fruit. Fresh mint water is another simple way to use the herb.

The main benefit of this drink is hydration. Strawberries and pineapple contain vitamin C, but the amount that passes into the water during steeping is unknown; eating the fruit also provides fiber. The liver and kidneys do most of the body’s detoxification, while the lungs and gut help eliminate waste.

How should you store strawberry pineapple mint water?

Keep the pitcher refrigerated and drink the water within 24 hours for the best flavor. 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.

Straining out the fruit and mint can make the water easier to pour, but it does not restart the storage clock. Use a clean, covered container and count storage time from when you first made the drink.

How can you vary strawberry pineapple mint water?

Make it more strawberry-forward

Use more strawberry and less pineapple while keeping the combined fruit close to 1 cup (150 g). This gives the pitcher a softer berry flavor without changing the basic method.

Make the pineapple more prominent

Reverse the fruit proportions, using more pineapple and fewer strawberries. Cut the pineapple into small pieces so its flavor can infuse into the water.

Adjust the mint

Use fewer leaves for a gentler herbal note, or keep the full amount for a fresher finish. Bruise the leaves lightly rather than tearing them into tiny pieces, which makes them harder to strain.
