Strawberry Raspberry Water: Easy Infused Water Recipe

Strawberry raspberry water is water infused with fresh strawberries and raspberries; it takes 2 hours 10 minutes and makes about 4 cups (950 ml).

What is strawberry raspberry water?

Strawberry raspberry water is a chilled fruit-infused water made by letting berries steep in a pitcher of water. The fruit gives the water a gentle berry flavor without blending or juicing it.

It is one of many simple berry infused water recipes. You can strain out the berries before serving or leave them in the pitcher until you are ready to pour.

What ingredients and ratio do you need?

For about 4 cups of strawberry raspberry water, use:

950 ml (4 cups) water
About 80 g (1/2 cup) sliced fresh strawberries
About 60 g (1/2 cup) fresh raspberries

This uses roughly 1 cup of berries for a pitcher of water. The equal cup measures give both fruits a presence, though strawberries and raspberries differ in size and weight. Use a clean pitcher with a lid or a covered container that fits in your refrigerator.

For a larger pitcher, keep the berry-to-water ratio similar. The flavor will also depend on how ripe the fruit is and how long you let it steep.

How do you make strawberry raspberry water?

Prep time: 10 minutes
Chill time: 2–4 hours
Yield: About 4 cups (950 ml)

Wash the strawberries and raspberries gently under running water.
Remove the strawberry tops and slice the strawberries. Leave the raspberries whole or gently break them apart for a more pronounced flavor.
Add both fruits to a clean pitcher, then pour in the water.
Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for 2–4 hours. Taste after 2 hours and leave it longer if you prefer a stronger flavor.
Strain the water if you prefer it without fruit, or pour it into glasses with the berries. Serve chilled.

Why do strawberries and raspberries pair well?

Strawberries bring a sweet, familiar berry flavor, while raspberries add a sharper, slightly tart note. Together, they make a more layered infusion than either fruit alone.

Ingredient	Flavor contribution	Preparation
Strawberries	Sweet and fruity	Slice to expose more of the fruit
Raspberries	Tart and fragrant	Leave whole or gently break apart

If you prefer a simpler flavor, try strawberry infused water or raspberry infused water.

The main benefit of strawberry raspberry water is that it provides water for hydration. Whole berries contain nutrients and fiber, but the amount transferred into a strained infusion is uncertain; eating the fruit provides more of it. The liver and kidneys do most of the body's detoxification, while the lungs and gut also help eliminate waste. This drink supports hydration, not a special detox process.

How should you store strawberry raspberry water?

Keep strawberry raspberry water refrigerated, including while it steeps. Drink it within 24 hours for the best flavor. Discard it after 2–3 days, or sooner if it becomes cloudy, slimy or sour-smelling.

Straining out the berries can help keep the flavor and texture more consistent, but it does not restart the storage clock. Do not leave the pitcher at room temperature for more than a few hours; return it to the refrigerator after serving.

How can you vary strawberry raspberry water?

For a fresher aroma, add a small handful of washed mint leaves before refrigerating. Gently press the leaves between your fingers rather than chopping them finely, which makes them harder to strain.

For a lighter, less sweet-tasting infusion, add a few washed cucumber slices. For a brighter, tangy note, add a washed lemon slice; remove it or strain the water after about 4 hours so the peel and pith do not make the water bitter.

You can also adjust the balance of the berries while keeping the total amount similar. Use more strawberries for a softer fruit flavor or more raspberries for a tarter pitcher. No sugar is needed for the basic recipe.
