How to Make Refreshing Juice Water

O Que Você Precisa Saber

- Cutting the orange and pineapple into small cubes increases the contact area of the pulp with the ice water. - The fresh mint leaves release menthol by gentle mashing, bringing immediate freshness to the drink. - The 30-minute refrigerated resting time is fundamental to transfer flavor without bitterness.

Chef Tips

- Remove the peel and the white pith of the orange before chopping to prevent bitter compounds from passing into the water. - Press the mint leaves lightly between your hands before placing them in the jar to activate the aromatic oils. - Use very cold mineral or filtered water to maintain the freshness and crispy texture of the fruit pieces.

Variations

- Add 1 piece of 2 centimeters of fresh ginger sliced thin to give a light thermogenic spiciness to the water. - Replace half of the mineral water with sparkling water at the time of serving to create a natural citrus soda. - Add pomegranate seeds or fresh blueberries to the pitcher to add color contrast and antioxidants.

Substitutions

- A laranja pode ser substituída por rodelas de limão-siciliano ou tangerina fresca na mesma quantidade. - O abacaxi fresco pode ser trocado por pedaços de melão maduro ou morangos frescos fatiados. - A hortelã pode ser substituída por ramos de manjericão fresco ou folhas de capim-limão picadas.

How to Store

Keep the flavored water in the refrigerator in a glass jar with a lid for up to 24 hours. Discard the fruits after this period to avoid natural fermentation and loss of the drink's clean aroma.

Can You Freeze It?

It is not recommended to freeze the water ready with the fruits in the jar, as the pulps lose firmness and become mushy when thawing. If you want to freeze, freeze the chopped fruits with mint leaves in ice cube trays for up to 2 months.

What to Serve With

Harmonizes very well as a supporting drink for barbecues, feijoadas, or grilled dishes with white meats. It also goes well with natural snacks, savory vegetable pies, and fresh summer salads.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should the orange peel be kept in the infusion?

It is preferable to peel the orange or use only the pulp, as the albedo (white part of the peel) makes the water bitter if left to rest for more than 30 minutes.
