Fruit Infused Water – What you need to know

Posted On: February 28, 2017

Fruit infused water is the new craze in the health food world, and can be an easy cash cow for juice bars, bottling operations, restaurants, health food stores and supermarkets.  This article will explain how easy it to make as well as all the benefits for your customers.

Making fruit infused water is simple!

• Use cold or room temperature, filtered water. (See Apiqe water system).  The same rule in juicing applies; you want to avoid any heat as it destroys essential nutrients in the fruit.
• Select the fruits you wish to use. Almost any fruit can be infused, and you can either create your own mix with your favorites or search for ideas online.  Most fruits can be cut in any way, except that hard fruits should be cut thin, and leafy greens should be torn.
• Place the fruit at bottom of pitcher, and weigh the fruit down with ice. Add water and allow the fruit to “infuse” for no more than 2 hours, as after this point bacterium may start to form.

The health benefits of fruit infused water are many, making it one of the healthiest beverage choices. 

Water is the most essential item in any diet.  Most people are simply not getting enough.  The amazing flavor and beautiful presentation help your customers get all the advantages of having enough water in your diet.
