How to Make Watermelon Water
These recipes are so much more than just watermelon with water…
In this section you will learn how to make the most of your infused water recipes, so you can have more flavor, and more nutrition.
How to Make Watermelon Detox Water:
- To a carafe or pitcher, add all the fruit and herbs.
- Use a muddler (or potato masher) to gently mash the fruit and herbs to release their flavors.
- Add the water, mix together, and let marinate for 2 hours in the fridge before serving.
Special Tips on Making Fruit Infused Water Recipes:
- Use a Fruit Infused Water Pitcher to make these drinks! The canister in the center of the pitcher will hold the fruit and herbs submerged. This will intensify the flavor!
- If you don’t have a fruit infused pitcher, add 3 cups of ice to the top of the water. Do not mix, but instead add to the fridge. As the ice slowly melts it will keep the fruit submerged longer. This will intensify the flavor!
Special Tip: You can find these directions, along with measurements, nutrition and more in the sharable recipe card in the next section!

Watermelon Water FAQ
Watermelon water can help boost metabolism, increase hydration. It helps clear up your skin, repair muscles after a workout, and reduce inflammation in the body. It’s a wonderful drink to enjoy anytime of the day, and before/during/after workouts.
The best way to infuse water is to lightly mash the fruit, then cover with water and ice. Do not mix, and place in the fridge for 1-2 hours. The ice helps hold down the fruit, and after about 1 hour the fruit infused water will taste great.
Watermelon helps reduce inflammation in the body, and burn fat. Drinking watermelon water will help hydrate the body so it can easily flush toxins, while adding nutrition and aiding in muscle repair. It’s a great drink for weight loss detox diets.
Adding fruit to water is a great way to boost flavor, and add nutrients to your water. Adding citrus and berries helps boost weight loss, watermelon and cucumbers reduce bloat, and herbs like mint can cool you down while rosemary increases memory and repairs muscles after a workout.
The fruit in fruit infused water should be used no more than 3 times in a 24-36 hour time frame, or until they lose their flavor. You can always add 1/3 the amount of fruit each time you refill the water to boost flavor and nutrients in your fruit infused waters.
Fruit infused water is a great way to get nutrients from fruit without all the calories. Though you’ll only get 1/3 the nutrients than eating the fruit, you’ll also only have 1/3 the calories as well.
The ideal “fridge time” (or time that fruit infused water lasts) is about 24-36 hours. After that it’s best to remove the fruit and water, wash out the pitcher, and start over.
Fruit infused water is fantastic for skin! It helps combat acne, reduce aging, and plumps the skin full of hydration. Try ingredients like cucumbers to clear up acne, citrus to boost collagen, and watermelon to boost hydration and to make your skin look luminous.
Fruit infused water is a great way to boost weight loss and trim down fast! Try infused waters with fat burning citrus (lemons, limes, oranges) bloat reducing ingredients (cucumbers, watermelon) to boost your infused water for faster weight loss.
Though drinking fruit infused water will not supply you with as many nutrients as eating fruit. You can get up to 1/3 the nutrients by drinking infused water. As a bonus you’ll also be hydrating, boosting your metabolism, and lowering the calories by drinking infused water instead of just eating fruit.
