FAQ

How long can I refrigerate the infused water?

It tastes best if you drink it within 12 to 24 hours, cause after that the flavors tend to fade out.

Can I swap fresh strawberries with frozen ones?

Yeah, you can use frozen strawberries but they might water down the drink a bit when they thaw.

Do I have to slice the fruits exactly as mentioned?

Not really, you can cut them into smaller pieces if you like, just keep them in sizes that infuse well.

Is it ok to use bottled water instead of tap water?

Totally, but using really cold tap water can help the flavors pop even more.

Can I add ice to keep it extra chill?

Of course, ice is cool if you like a colder drink, just be careful not to overdo it or it might dilute the flavor.

Strawberry, Lime, And Mint Infused Water Recipe Substitutions and Variations

If you’re out of water, you can use sparkling water or even coconut water for a fun twist
If strawberries arent available, try using blueberries or raspberries instead
You can swap the lime with a lemon or even an orange to mix up the flavor
If you don’t have a cucumber, thinly sliced zucchini or celery work pretty well
In case you dont have mint leaves, basil leaves can be a nice alternative

Pro Tips

1. Try gently crushing the mint leaves and even the fruits a little before adding them to the water so they release more flavor—it makes the drink taste more vibrant.
2. I found that if you let the water infuse a bit longer than the minimum two hours, like overnight, the flavors really deepen and become more noticeable.
3. Always give the pitcher a good stir before serving because the flavors tend to settle at the bottom if you don’t mix it up well enough.
4. If you like a bit more kick from the mint, toss in a few extra leaves at the end as a garnish; it’s a simple trick that really helps brighten up the taste.
