Blackberry Mint Infused Water

Blackberry Mint Infused Water by The Casual Craftlete

 

It’s officially summer here in Southern Illinois.  It’s been in the mid 80’s all week.  One way I like to cool off is by drinking water.  I just love this Blackberry Mint Infused Water!  I actually like drinking water but sometimes the plain ol water is just boring.  Adding fruit and herbs make it enjoyable and taste delicious.   This is such a refreshing drink and its darn pretty.

My neighbor Amy from A Blossoming Life has a garden and gave me a generous amount of mint.  I already had some blackberries in the ice box and thought the two would be good together.  I was right!  This flavor combo is defiantly a winner.  It almost reminds me of the Blackberry Clearly Canadian.  Do you remember those?  They were a special treat in my house growing up.  I think they were kind of pricey so we only got them occasionally.

There really is no exact recipe for the infused water.  All I did some mash about a handful of blackberries releasing their juices into a pitcher.  Then I rubbed the mint in my hands to release the oils and placed them in the same pitcher.  Just add water and let infuse for at least 2 hours.  I recommend over night for full flavor.  You and your family can drink the blackberry mint infused water on a daily basis or serve at a summer party or bbq.

  1. Yes! It’s too darn hot here this week and I could use a quick refresher. I’ve also got a bundle of mint leftover from Mother’s Day agua fresca. Definitely going to put this together:)

  3. wow, this looks so good! I just love blackberries and black current anything! I’m def. going to have to try it this summer!
    Thanks…pinned!

  6. I’m going to have to try this–I drink way too much coffee and flavored drinks with a lot of chemicals in them. This would be so much healthier and it looks so refreshing, too!

  8. This looks so delicious and refreshing. It is making me thirsty! I definitely love mint and want to try to grow it this year. I already have several other herbs in the works. I guess I will be on the hunt! Thanks for a great post! Now…off to get a drink.

  9. This does sound delicious! I’ve tried the lemon cucumber combination before, but I have a hard time with cucumber in water. Maybe the blackberry would add enough sweet? I’m glad I found your post through the Monday Funday link party.

    • Aw, thanks so much for the sweet comment, Katie. Hope you have a lovely Memorial Day weekend! P.S. I shared your fabulous wood slice thumbtacks on my FB page today…love them!

  11. I’m straight up obsessed with infused water right now, thanks to pitcher with a handy little core for infusing that I got for Mother’s Day. This combo sounds delicious!

  14. yummmm! I love jazzing up my water so I drink more of it and it keeps me off of soda. I agree, water can get so boring. I never thought of this combo and can’t wait to try it! Thanks for sharing at The Makers 🙂 Pinning!

  16. Love infused waters! Made them all last summer. I have lots of mint..why didn’t I ever think about using it?? OY! My brain has turned to much! LOL Thanks for sharing and making me remember the mint!!

  20. Hi Katie! I’m stopping by from Mouthwatering Fridays. I’ve made a few infused waters before and they’re definitely a great way to spice up some plain old water. This looks like a delicious combination. And I totally used to love Clearly Canadian when I was growing up too. I used to get them from our local bagel place!

  21. Hi! Dropping by from Put a bird on it! I love flavoured water, adding mint is so refreshing, great combination especially with the upcoming summer! Thanks!

  24. This looks delicious. I’ve made mint infused water before but I haven’t added berries. I’m going to have to give this a try. Thanks for sharing it.

  25. Hi sweetie! I’m hopping over from the SITS linky party today. Love this fresh and wonderful drink anything with berries gets a yes please from me! I hope you shared at my Thursday hop too ( you can link up through Sat) Hugs!

  26. This looks so delicious! I usually kick it old school and just add lemon to my water, but as summer approaches I’ve been seeing a lot of these fruit and herb combos, so I think I need to try something new! I pinned this to try later. Yum!

    Stopping by from the Creative Ways link party.

  20. […] 5. Blackberry Mint Water Let a pitcher of this sit for minimum of two hours (overnight if you’re in no hurry). By the time it reaches your glass your flavored water will have a tart yet sweet kick to it. And thanks to flavonoids, which give the berry its color and a hit of antioxidants, the blackberries are a great way to support your immune system. Photo and recipe: Katie Enzenberger / The Casual Craftlete […]
