Observations

How long can I store flavored water?
Maximum 3 days in the refrigerator. Use an airtight container (like we did) or a carafe with a lid.

Can I use frozen raspberries to make this flavored water?
Of course. Thaw them completely before using them to prepare the flavored water.

Does flavored water have to be filtered?
No it is not compulsory. But if you don't want any fruit residue in the glass, it's best to strain it before serving it.

How to serve flavored water?
In a glass with or without ice. You can also add a slice of lemon and some raspberries used for the infusion.

What is the correct cold brew time?
Cold infusion requires quite a long time. Count at least 4 hours, but we advise you to be patient and let it rest overnight so that the ingredients release their taste and flavor as well as possible.

What can I use instead of lemon?
A lime will work great too! We strongly recommend that you use organic citrus fruits.
