Quench Your Thirst Beautifully With Flavor-Infused Water After 4 hours, unpeeled citrus can make water taste bitter. To make a big jug of infused water for a party, peel the citrus before soaking. Or you can soak it unpeeled for 4 hours, remove it, and add fresh slices for looks. (And keep that water icy cold for food safety.) If you don’t drink the water within 24 hours, strain out the solids and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

- Check your infusion 24 hours later and every 24 hours after that, tasting it until it reaches the flavor you desire. Give it a good shake every day, too. I infused my fruit cocktail vodka for 48 hours - I couldn't wait any longer. If your jar has a spout, you can simply pour your vodka from it.

Frequently Asked Questions Do you like your water really fruity and tangy? You can infuse overnight or up to 12 hours! If you infuse for 4 or more hours, though, be sure to remove the fruits and herbs from the water, then store the infused water in the fridge for up to 3 days. Removing the infused fruits from the water will prevent the fruit from decomposing in the water and potentially creating undesirable flavors.

The Hidden Dangers of Drinking Water We were able to wash our hands, feet, and clothes with the well water, but never drink it.

- The longer the cucumbers sit in water, the better, more flavorful the water becomes. Do not use a plastic jar; it won't work. I bought a glass sun tea cooler glass jar from Walmart which has a spout on the bottom of the jar. I sliced the cucumbers, poured filtered water on top and put it in the fridge for several days. Whenever I drink a cup of cucumber water, I put a cup of filtered water back into the jar. I think the lemon, lime, or orange addition will be tasty too but I haven't tried it, yet. The biggest key to success is using a glass jar and letting it sit for days.
