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.

I’m with you. Always hot and hate it. This humidity is a killer, too. I like drinking lemon water. Refreshing and healthy. I haven’t tried oranges before. Thanks.
We do this also… and it does taste great… we also use cucumbers and other items. Yum. 🙂
This infusion certainly elevates H2O!
I’ve already tried adding lemon to water,but now I think mixing it with limes and oranges must be even better! It looks really refreshing.
Oh YUM!! I really need to try that! I like the idea of putting a mint leaf in as well! I sometimes add citrus essential oils to my morning water for a little pick me up but I really love the fruit infused idea!
Stacie,
Your Citrus Bliss water looks so cool and refreshing! I am launching a new link party tomorrow with Refresh Living starting at 7pm CST. We would love to have you come and link up with us!
Thank you!

My new obsession is infused water and this looks delectable. So much citrus and vitamin C means that it’s just as good as coffee to perk me up in the morning, but healthier. Win/win!
This sounds so healthy & refreshing!
I drink a lot of water and iced tea to stay hydrated in the summer. I have never made infused water, I thought I needed an infuser to do this, now I see that I don’t. Thank you for sharing this recipe, I can’t wait to give this a try.
This looks so refreshing! I love adding citrus to my water.
This looks so re freshening to drink – thanks for the great idea!
Definitely super refreshing on those blistering hot days –nice and healthy too!
I am going to try this to liven up the taste of water.
I do not drink enough water and I need to do this.
I love to do this!! My favorite is strawberry, pineapple, orange and mint! It’s amazing
This is one of my favourite ways to drink water in the summer. I also throw in a couple of mint leaves.
I love citrus water! There’s so many benefits and it tastes delicious!!
