For people who find it difficult to respect the recommended 2 liters of water per day, and especially in summer with the hot weather, discover the homemade detox flavored water, healthy and super refreshing! Here we decided to flavor the water with lemon, basil and raspberries. In addition to being super thirst-quenching, this water will be colored thanks to the raspberries, and it will clearly have its small effect on a birthday table or for a wedding day. You can even serve several jars with our water flavored with cucumber, lime and ginger, for a guaranteed wow effect!

Carefully wash the lemon under water and squeeze it lightly, gently rolling it on a table. Then cut it into slices.
Rinse the raspberries under running water and add them to the jar.
Add the slices of lemon and the basil leaves previously crumpled between your hands (to help give more aroma to the drink).
Finally, add the water. Close the container tightly and leave to infuse in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
There you are, your lemon, basil and raspberry infused water is ready!

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.
