Frequently Asked Questions

Can you eat the fruit after infusing water?

Yes! You Might Be Disappointed In The Flavor, 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 Sweet Than What You’d Expect.

How can I chill this infused water?

In Addition To Storing Infused Water In The Refrigerator, Consider Creating Ice Cubes Using Juice, Lemonade, Or The Same (Or A Different!) Flavor Of Infused Water. This Will Keep The Flavor Of The Infused Water Nice And Strong.
