Citrus Bliss Infused Water
Whip up a batch of this Citrus Bliss Infused Water today. Thanks to the citrus, it will hydrate, taste refreshing, and even detox the body. This is such an easy way to dress up your water. Try my infused water recipe if you struggle to drink enough water daily.
The heat is on, and I can’t stand it! I hate being hot. Give me 15°C weather any day. I prefer to step outside and feel refreshed not like I just stepped into an oven. I stay cool in the heat and humidity by drinking lots of water. I like the taste of water, and the colder, the better. I will admit that it does get a little blah day in and day out.
I bought a funky new container at Canadian Tire the other day and thought it would be perfect for fruit-infused water. I have lots of oranges already in my fridge (my addiction), so I picked up some lemons and limes and decided to make citrus water.
It’s just ice, cold water, limes, an orange, and a lemon, all sliced up nice and pretty. Give it a little stir, and that’s it. It’s chilling in the fridge when my thirst hits.

Do You Slice the Fruit?
Yes. You want to slice up the fruit so that it will release the juices. This is what is going to be released and infuse the water so that it tastes citrusy. The juices won’t get into the water if you don’t slice your fruit.
One way I found to help get as much out as possible is to roll the fruit back and forth on the counter to help soften it up. Slice and then toss in the pitcher.
Storage Instructions
You will want to drink your water within 3-5 days. The fruit in the water will cause it to go bad sooner than just plain water in the fridge.
Can I Cut Down the Recipe Size ?
Yes. You can make as much or as little of this infused water as possible. I recommend only making what you know you will drink within the time frame. Feel free to double or even triple the recipe if you are having a party or gathering.
Does the Water Need to Infuse Before You Drink It?
The longer you let your water sit, the more citrus flavor you will find the water has. You can also squeeze some of the juice of each fruit into the water to help speed up the process if you are in a hurry to drink your water.

Infusing water with citrus or any flavours is a great way to get people to drink more water… But the citrus actually does help kick start your body’s “filters” (the kidney’s, liver and intestines) and it helps the digestion process; I use it as part of a natural healthy cleanse. Thank you for this, its a great reminder for the summer!
I don’t like the heat either. It saps all energy from me in an instant! This water sounds lovely and refreshing!
I love adding citrus to my water also…so refreshing! I prefer cooler weather also, summer is hot and sticky 😉

This looks so refreshing! love it!
I try to drink a lot of water. This sounds like a good option to add flavor!
I am beyond horrible at drinking enough water – so this is one of my favorite ways to jazz up plain water so I drink more 🙂 Soo good!
What a great idea! I have just been given a whole heap of freshly picked lemons and with it being orange season here in Australia too, this is perfect timing! Pinned. Stopping by from Lou Lou Girls Link Up Party
I am going to give this a try if we ever get a hot day !
