Notes

Tips for the best-infused water:

Make sure your fruit is fresh. Fruit that is about to turn can give your water an unappealing flavor;
Make sure the fruit is well washed and any dirt or debris has been removed before adding it to the water;
Gently smash the blueberries in the water, we want to release the flavor of the blueberry, not have lots of little bits floating all over the place;
If you don't plan on drinking the water straight away then you should remove the fruit after letting it sit for a few hours/overnight. If you leave the fruit in there you may end up with a bitter taste to the water.

Drink within 24 hours.
