Tips
- Choose Ripe Fruits: For the best flavor, select ripe strawberries and mangoes. Look for strawberries that are bright red and fragrant, and mangoes that yield slightly to pressure.
- Experiment with Infusion Time: If you prefer a stronger flavor, let the infused water sit for a longer period. You can also refrigerate it overnight for a more intense infusion.
- Add Extra Flavor: Feel free to get creative! Consider adding mint leaves or a squeeze of lime juice for an extra burst of flavor.
- Serve with Style: When serving, add a few slices of fruit to each glass for a visually appealing presentation. It’s a great way to impress guests!
- Stay Hydrated: Keep a pitcher of this infused water in your fridge to encourage yourself to drink more throughout the day. It’s a delicious way to stay hydrated!
