Fruit Infused Water

SUMMER IS
A GREAT SEASON
TO ENJOY
INFUSED WATERS!
CAN YOU EAT THE FRUIT AFTER INFUSING WATER?
Yes! You might be disappointed, though. As the fruit infuses the water with flavor, the fruit itself has less flavor and more water. So it might taste watery and less flavorful than what you’d expect.
HOW LONG CAN YOU KEEP FRUIT INFUSED WATER IN THE FRIDGE?
Infused water is best 2 to 4 hours after you’ve made it. Or, you can let it infuse overnight in the refrigerator.
Some ingredients last better than others. With herbs, for example, fresh basil lasts 2 to 3 days but rosemary can last up to a week.
