First, forget everything you think you know about complicated recipes. Infused water is about flavor, not a science experiment. You just need a pitcher or a large glass, some water, and your chosen ingredients.
The real trick? Crush or slice your fruits and herbs to release their oils and juices. A whole strawberry will just float there looking sad; a sliced one will actually give you taste. (Pro tip: gently smack mint leaves in your palm before adding them—it wakes them up.)
Let it chill in the fridge for at least an hour. Patience is key here, and you’ll be rewarded with water that actually tastes like something.
