Over the last year my family has tried to find healthier alternatives to our favorite sugary beverages. Water can become boring over time and I found my family reverting back to their old habits. I bought fruit infusion water bottles, but this meant making a new beverage numerous times a day and letting it set. This was just too much work for my family who is busy and on the go all the time. I purchased the pitcher to see if this would help us go back to drinking less sugary drinks.
The clear acrylic pitcher has a stylish design with a comfortable handle. The pitcher is shatterproof and made of non-toxic acrylic that is BPA free. It comes with a fruit infuser insert as well as a solid core for ice. The fruit infuser has slots to let the fruit flavors escape into the water or tea. These fruit infusers can be used for more than just flavoring water; it can be used for flavoring teas and juices too or you can put ice in it. No more watered down drinks. The pitcher can be hand washed or placed in the top rack of your dishwasher. I prefer to hand wash.
I just love the look of this pitcher. It looks fantastic on the table at dinner time and looks really special if you are having guests over. I couldn’t wait to try my pitcher out and the only thing I had in the house was lemons so in they go. If you do not want to add ice to your fruit infused tea or juice I just freeze a few pieces of my fruit to act as ice. As they thaw they still infuse the water with their flavor, but they help keep it cold too. Only one of the cores can be used at one time. I have found that fruits, vegetables and herbs will flavor my water, tea and juice at different rates. So you will need to determine how long you want your beverages to set before you drink them. Lemons, limes and oranges are my favorite for quick flavored drinks. I normally let these fruits set for one hour before drinking. But cucumber and mint takes a little longer almost twice as long as the citrus fruits.
I want to try pomegranate infused water and tea next. I love that I can keep the pitcher in the refrigerator so my family can have a healthy alternative to pick from. We have almost eliminated all of the sugary drinks from the house; it’s my husband who is actually who is still struggling with the change. I love that the pitcher is a family size instead of individual the way the water bottles are. The only thing that I would change would be the lid. The lid does not seal at the spout which leaves it wide open. It would be nice to have a covering or a plug to seal it off. Though, this is just a small issue that is nothing compared to the benefits of the fruit infused water pitcher. I am really happy with this beautiful fruit infused water pitcher. This would make a great gift!
I received this complimentary for my honest and unbiased review.
