Lemon Orange Blueberry Water
Aug
3rd
One of the great things about this infused water is that you can use frozen blueberries, which are far cheaper than their fresh picked counterparts. If you use frozen, however, you will need to let this water infuse at room temperature for a few hours before chilling in the fridge.
The taste is divine and the pink tint of the water makes it appealing to the eyes, too. Whatever you do, go easy on the lemon as too much of it can make the water bitter.
Recipe for a 32 oz Ball Jar: 2 organic orange slices + 1 organic lemon slice + 8-10 blueberries. Chill in the fridge for 4-8 hours and up to 24 hours for maximum flavor.

Hi, Patsy. Squeezing the fruit juice out of the fruit does not result in the same flavor because the rinds and flesh do contribute to the overall taste. But, if you are in a rush, squeeze away and do note that using fruit juice will slightly increase the calories. I hope that answered your question, let me know if not. Amy

How long will this last in the fridge? Is it possible to make a larger batch to drink over several days?
Amy Pogue January 31, 2015 at 6:57 pm
You can definitely make a larger batch to drink over a few days. When doing so, be sure to cut the rinds off of the oranges to avoid bitterness. Trust me, this is an essential step in long-lasting infused waters since citrus rinds are very astringent.
Also, you will see that the blueberries and oranges start to get floaters. This is fine and just a normal reaction to fruit being in water. The floaters do not look very pretty, but they are not bad for you.
Final tip: don’t drink the water after three days. Two days is best. Just like cutting open an apple and putting it in your fridge, infused fruits start to lose flavor and will naturally start to disintegrate after about 24 hours.

Do I need to leave the water outside of refrigeration? I made this recipe but put in the icebox. I have very little blue berry color or flavor?

I did this exactly as it said. however I also didn’t get any color or flavor from the blueberries. I wonder if it would work better to cut the berries in half first?

That’s interesting – the last two posts say there is little or no color. And we just did ours here – it’s very purple… Actually googled it to determine if frozen was possible. If you want the color – beat them up, but as the article reads – “juice = different flavor” and logic tells me the color comes from the juice! Hmmm well hope it’s good!

So…I’m a lil confused. Do I leave the rinds on the lemon and orange or cut them off? The picture shows them on but in 1 email response you suggested cutting them off.
Thanks for clarification 🙂

Drinking infused water feels like a simple lifestyle upgrade. Adding fresh fruits or herbs gives it a natural aroma and taste that makes hydration feel more intentional and enjoyable.

Blueberries have a clean, natural flavor that doesn’t overpower other ingredients, which makes them easy to combine with many foods.

Definitely skipping the rinds to avoid the bitterness. I’ve ruined way too many batches by leaving them in.

Definitely gotta watch the lemon amount though. Too much and it just tastes bitter.

Cutting the rinds off is a massive pain but definitely worth it if you’re making a big batch. Otherwise it just ends up tasting like lemon pledge after day two.

Gonna have to be careful with those lemon slices, I hate when infused water ends up tasting like straight acid.

The tip about cutting the rinds off is huge, I always end up with that weird bitter taste otherwise. Honestly though, after two days the fruit usually starts looking pretty gross anyway.

Removing the rinds for a big batch is a pro tip, otherwise the whole thing turns into bitter garbage after 24 hours. Honestly though, two days is pushing it before it starts tasting weird.

Frozen berries are such a cheat code for this. Way cheaper than fresh.
