Strawberry Pomegranate Cider; Berry Infused Water
If you like Chipotle’s Tractor Beverage Organic Agua Fresca; you will absolutely love this copycat refreshing infused berry water.
Ingredients
- 4-5 large fresh strawberries sliced with stems removed or enough to fill the infusion chamber half full
- 8 cups filtered water
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 16 ounces pomegranate juice
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (AVC) the type with the mother. Why the type with the Mother? Because not all ACV’s are equal. The ACV with the Mother is a pure version whereas the others are diluted.
Instructions
-
Since you just can’t go out a buy strawberry water I make my own. But first, I use a 3.5 quart acrylic fruit infusion pitcher for making the strawberry water.
Place fresh sliced strawberries in the chamber of the infuser and set aside. Add water and sugar to pitcher and stir until sugar is completely dissolved and water is clear.
-
Place the infuser into the acrylic pitcher. Then place the pitcher in the refrigerator and allow the infusion to take place. I usually keep the pitcher in the fridge for at least 8 hours and sometimes 24 hours to get a more intense strawberry flavor.
-
Remove the acrylic pitcher from the refrigerator. Remove the infuser. Add the pomegranate juice and apple cider vinegar into the pitcher and stir to combine.
Note: You can discard the strawberries or if desired continue to infuse even longer as long as the strawberries remain fresh and have not become soggy.
Serve over ice cubes and enjoy. The juice should be consumed within three to five days.
