FOR INFUSED WATER

  • 1 Red Apples (thinly sliced )
  • 1 inch Cinnamon Stick (stick)
  • 1 ltr Water

FOR GARNISH

  • 2-3 Red Apples (slices )
  • 1 inch Cinnamon Stick

Instructions

CHOOSE FRESH & ORGANIC  

  • Fruits are generally waxed or sprayed with chemicals    
  • We would use the whole fruit for the infusion  
  • Hence, always invest in high quality, organic and ripe fruits

CLEAN WELL BEFORE USE  

  • Check for any bruise or mold on the apple, cut them off. Remove the stalk as well.
  • Clean the red apple under tap water, turning as necessary to clean all the side 
  • Then in a container filled with enough water, mix 1 tbsp of lemon juice & 1 tbsp of baking soda
  • Dip each apples and brush the skin using a vegetable brush gently to remove any wax
  • Wash off the apples again under running tap water and dry it with a damp cloth

PREP THE RED APPLES

  • Cut the apples into wedges and thinly slice them
  • Thin apple slices  provide the most surface area for juices and flavor to seep out into the water

MAKE THE FRUIT INFUSION  

  • In a large glass pitcher, place the thinly cut apple slices and drop in 1-inch cinnamon stick  
  • Pour one-liter water in the glass jug
  • Refrigerate the infused water for min 30 minutes (atleast), before consuming  
  • If you don’t like having your water chilled, then leave the jug at room temperature  
  • If using infused water bottle, the water will infuse quickly. Add some ice cubes and enjoy. Keep refilling them through the day
