How to prepare infused waters and shakes
-
1. Prepare Ingredients:
Slice fruits, vegetables, and herbs as needed.
-
2. Combine Ingredients:
Place the sliced ingredients into a pitcher for infused water, or into a blender for shakes.
-
3. Add Filtered Water
Pour filtered water over the ingredients until the pitcher or blender is full.
-
4. Final Step:
- Infused Waters: refrigerate the mixture for 2 to 4 hours to allow the flavours to infuse. Stir the mixture once per day to enhance the infusion. Strain out the solid ingredients if desired, then serve over ice and enjoy! For added convenience, try using our infuser to make straining and serving effortless.
- Shakes: blend on high speed until smooth, about 40 seconds. Use ice cubes made from filtered water for the best taste and purity in your beverages. Add more filtered water if you prefer a thinner consistency. Pour the smoothie into a glass, serve immediately, and enjoy!
Tips and alternatives
-
Infused waters:
- Straining: if serving to children or for a smoother drink, strain out the leaves, fruits, and vegetables before serving.
- Substitutions: use any citrus fruits instead of lemon and lime or mix and match herbs like basil or rosemary for different flavours.
- Garnish: add fresh slices of fruits and herbs as a garnish before serving for an appealing presentation.
- Storage: infused water can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
-
Shakes:
- Customisation: Smoothies are highly customisable. Use fresh instead of frozen fruits or add ingredients like protein powder for extra nutrition.
- Plant-Based Options: Swap Greek yoghurt for coconut yoghurt or any other plant-based yoghurt.
- Liquid Alternatives: Experiment with different liquids like almond milk, coconut milk, or fruit juices to change the flavour profile.
- Thicker Consistency: Add a few ice cubes or reduce the amount of filtered water for a thicker smoothie.
