Ingredients
- 2 cups herbs for herbal or floral infusion
- 2 cups Edible Flowers for herbal or floral infusion
OR
- 1/4 cup Spices for spice infusion
OR
- 1 cup fruits for fruit or vegetable infusion
- 1 cup vegetables for fruit or vegetable infusion
- 8 cups water
Instructions
- Place your choice of infusing ingredients in a large container with a lid. Top off with the water, secure the lid, and give the contents a good shake.
- For intensely flavored infused water, place the container of water in full sun for 5 to 8 hours, depending on how robust a flavor you wish to achieve. The longer you let the ingredients steep, the more intense the flavor. (A glass container is ideal for doing a sun infusion, as the sun’s rays can best penetrate and warm such a vessel. Be warned that the water may take on some of the color of the infusing ingredient.) For mildly flavored infused water, place the container of water in the refrigerator for 5 to 8 hours, depending on how robust a flavor you wish to achieve. The longer you let the ingredients steep, the more intense the flavor.
- Straining isn't necessary, although if desired, you can strain the water and toss the solids in the compost or the trash. Place the infused water in the refrigerator and use within a couple days.
