Adds scents & flavors. Adding muddled fruits and crushed herbs add the most beautiful colors and delicious scents. A pitcher of fruit sparkling water on the table makes life more fun.

About added nutrition. Adding fruits or herbs to sparkling water will not add much additional nutrition. To be fully transparent, adding a small amount of fruit or herb to your sparkling water is not going to add much additional nutrition. But there will be minute addition nutrients in the form of antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, de-bloat components, and micronutrients. Still, focus on flavoring your infused water for the flavorings, and scents, not added nutrition.

Step by Step Instructions

For more detail on how to make your choice of fruit sparkling water, visit the complete recipe at the bottom of this post, but here are general steps.

Step 1: Pour seltzer water and ice into a pitcher.

Step 2: Add in one or two fruits or herbs of the list of choices. Crush and muddle each choice first in a bowl before adding it to the sparkling water.

Step 3: Give the water a stir, but not too harshly since this is carbonated water and too much energy could cause it to bubble over.

Step 4: Cover and refrigerate the water for one hour at least. The water will be more fragrant after 15 minutes or so.

Recipe Tips

1. Unlike infused water, you can't wait hours to enjoy sparkling water, or the carbonation will disappear so be sure to enjoy after 15 minutes in the refrigerator.

2. The fruit you add is edible for probably a day or so. So enjoy it as long as it seems fresh to you!

3. Sparkling fruit water cannot be stored overnight, it will likely be flat by the next day.
