Up your hydration with this easy peach water with basil. Enjoy it immediately or let it chill for at least an hour for maximum flavor. Find other flavor combinations with oranges, ginger, and strawberries.
optional toppings: slices of ginger, orange, orange peel, strawberries. Ice.
Instructions
Slice ½ whole ripe peach into bite sized pieces. Transfer to glass.
Add 2-4 basil leaves to peach. Sprinkle a pinch of salt (optional). Add additional ingredients, if desired (ginger, orange slices, strawberries, etc)
Pour about 8 ounces of still or sparkling water over peach slices. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour for more infused flavor.
Enjoy chilled. Add ice prior to serving, if desired.
Notes
This drink is best after chilling for at least an hour. That time allows fruit to infuse the water with flavor.
You can use still or sparkling water. Cover sparkling water and be gentle to reduce releasing the bubbles before enjoying.
You can easily make extra servings for a crowd or more peach water for yourself.
If you don't have time to chill the infused water, muddle peaches and basil (and any additional ingredients) then add water. This will help infuse the water with a bit more flavor.
