I can’t believe I’ve already lived off a full year drinking just Lemon & Mint Water. We-ll I don’t drink that everyday exactly, only when I have leftover lemons and mint sprigs from other recipes. BUT, it’s the only flavor of water infusion that I ever tried.
A year ago,I told myself that I’d like to do a series of naturally-flavored water or infused water here at my kitchen. I guess I sort of forgot all about it with all the yummy things that floats in my mind everyday.
Good thing I got those leftover blueberries from the Blueberry Lemon Scones….
They just got themselves a new partner — mandarin oranges.
Infused waters, flavored waters or spa water is one of the things you could do to add jazz to your water. This is also best thing to replace the sodas and juices in your life because drinking this delicious water can only do your body good. I add some to my coffee which makes it healthier, flavorful, and more affordable.
Will experiment on other flavor combinations and varieties and I will keep you posted on what’s good.
- 6 cups water
- 2 mandarin oranges,cut into wedges
- a handful of blueberries
- ice
- Combine all ingredients in a pitcher and put in the fridge for 2-24 hours to allow the water to infuse.
- You can also squeeze in the juice of one mandarin orange and muddle the blueberries to intensify flavor a bit.
- Serve cold.
Sounds delish! I actually like regular old water – and drink a lot of it – so I’ve not thought to do much with infusing flavor into water. Although adding some lemon or lime is always welcome. But I should try this – the blueberry and orange combo sounds particularly enticing. Good stuff – thanks.
What a fun idea..flavored water is so good. The pictures are so good.
Such beautiful photos! Looks very refreshing Peachy and now that I’ve given up soda, this would be perfect!

this is nice, if only blueberries are not hard to find here! I also tried cucumber with the lemon or melon with kalamnsi and I think that was pineapple.. The cucumber makes the water more refreshing!
hmm…sounds good. I’m trying to cutdown on the soda and sugary juices. Thanks for the tip
Just dump some berries in my water too 🙂 So much better!
I love infused waters but I’ve never tried this combination. sounds delicious and your pictures are lovely!
That sounds and looks delicious!
We’re trying infused water also. I just bought lemons, oranges, and limes. Where do you get fresh mint leaves?
I make infused water all the time. My all time favorite is lemon with mint leaves.
I’ve not tried infused water before. 😛 I know, I’ve been under a rock! 😛 Definitely want to try this though, I love blueberries! 😛
This just looks like a thirst quencher and looks really tasty. Hmmm.. thanks for sharing! This would be perfect for our weather here today. Lovely photograph too. Like always.
that is so good looking drink. I love it, I bet it tastes really good.
I drink flavored water, too. That blueberry-orange combo is perfect for summer! 🙂
It is! It’s very refreshing!
I love infused water. Next time you infuse your water, try using sparkling water, it’s AMAZING!! & it takes away your craving for a soda.
OMG! Thanks for the suggestion Briana. I’ll definitely try it.
Since this is a detox drink, how often do you drink it
You drink this like you drink water.
This looks good. I will try this. I tried the lemon one, but I think I made a mistake of putting too much and letting it stay in the refrigerator overnight. No one in the family liked it. But I want to keep at it.
A few slices of lemon for one pitcher of water is enough. You’ll like this.
What a fun post 🙂 So many great ideas. This is exactly what I need these days. Pinned!
Wait.. Guess what.. M writing a guest post and gonna add yours as a note in it:
Let me know your views. I will appreciate that.
I’ve never tried any infused water, not even the lemon and mint! I am planning, but still planning, di parin naaaccomplish! lol!
Go mommy! Buy lemon at the grocery this weekend.
Sounds like a great idea and something I am going to try this weekend – thanks for this !
you’re welcome!
