8 Fruit & Herb Infused Water Recipes

You'll never go back to plain old water again after trying these amazing infused recipes!

By Sierra Ann, Editor and Publisher of Macaroni Kid Davenport - Bettendorf, IA June 6, 2021

If you don’t have an infuser pitcher, get one now!
Water is so important for us to drink but most people's biggest complaint is that it's tasteless and boring, but it doesn't have to be!

Purchase your fresh herbs and produce from our local Farmers Markets, cut them up to fit in the infuser compartment of your pitcher, add cold water and enjoy your delicious, refreshing, and nutritious beverage.

Use carbonated water for a fun, fizzy drink!

*TIP*: Pour infused water into ice cube trays and freeze. Add them to a yummy cocktail for more flavor!

Watermelon - Basil
First on the list because it is my absolute favorite fruit and herb combination! There is something so amazingly delicious about this irresistible combo; it is a definite must-try.





Cucumber - Mint
The cucumber is incredibly refreshing in water and the addition of mint makes this drink a perfect combination of fresh and sweet.





Blueberry - Rosemary
Blueberries are filled with essential antioxidants and combined with aromatic rosemary makes this water anything but tasteless!





Peaches - Thyme
The combination of sweet, juicy peaches and fragrant thyme is perfect for fighting off sugar cravings.





Strawberry - Basil
Strawberries are my favorite fruit and combined with this versatile herb, your opinion of water will never be the same!





Pineapple - Mint
Tropical pineapple combined with refreshing mint tastes just as delicious as it looks.





Orange - Rosemary
Oranges boast high levels of Vitamin C and rosemary is rich in omega-3's which means this water is not only delicious, it has many health benefits too!




Lemon - Thyme
If you already enjoy lemon in your water, add this flavorful herb to it next thyme  for an even more refreshing drink.
