Infused water is one of the new health trends both abroad and is now spreading to Indonesia. Infused water is water that is given pieces of fruit to give a fruity taste sensation to water and of course it has many health benefits.
Some fruits that can be used for infusion water are grapes, apples, star fruit, dragon fruit, lime, kiwi, lemon, pineapple, mango, cucumber and orange. Infused water not only contains sliced fruit, but also herbs or spices such as cinnamon, ginger, basil leaves, mint leaves, celery, lemongrass and others.
How to Make Infused Water
There are several ways and conditions that need to be done in making infused water:
- Fruit must be ripe and fresh. It is not recommended to use unripe fruit as some of the nutrients are not fully ripe
- Wash the fruit before slicing. In half a liter can be filled with 10-15 pieces of thinly sliced fruit. Then put it in the refrigerator and let it sit for 6-12 hours so that the juice from the fruit slowly comes out.
- Water is ready to be consumed. It is recommended to drink infused water before eating so that the nutrients can be directly absorbed by the body.
Keep in mind that the fruit used to make infused water can be used again. So the maximum is two times of use. If stored in the refrigerator, infused water can last up to 2 to 5 days. To create a healthy and fit body, we actually don't need to spend a lot of money.
