Fruit infuser bottle
Staying well hydrated on a daily basis is essential to staying healthy. But faced with the bland taste of water, it is tempting to give in to the calls of sugary and industrialized drinks to quench your thirst. Thanks to the fruit infuser bottles you get flavored water with multiple flavors or even a detox drink with antioxidant and energizing properties.
What is a fruit infuser bottle?
As its name suggests, a fruit infuser bottle is a container with a compartment to place red fruits, citrus fruits, but also raw vegetables and aromatic herbs. This central infuser ensures the distribution of the taste and nutritional properties of the ingredients in the water.
The infusion chamber is generally removable with a fixing system on the bottle caps . They are more convenient for travel than carafes and less expensive than juicers. With a fine mesh that retains the pieces, the fruit infuser bottles make it quick and easy to prepare refreshing, healthy and dietetic drinks, rich in vitamins and minerals, without added sugars or artificial flavors.
Why use a fruit infuser bottle?
In terms of water consumption, you should drink at least 8 glasses a day, the equivalent of 1.5 litres. Despite its undeniable qualities, water is often dethroned by drinks with a more pronounced taste, syrups, sodas, etc. The fruit infuser bottle reconciles you with water while enhancing it with various and varied flavors, but also valuable nutrients.
Whether in a context of well-being, sports performance or without any particular intention, the benefits of infused water are multiple. The drinks are tasty while being very low in calories and depending on the recipes, the flavored waters will be stimulating, detoxifying or even slimming.
Ecological, an infusion bottle reduces pollution compared to the purchase of industrialized drinks. No more waste, but also the risk of ingesting nanoparticles that migrate into liquids during prolonged contact with plastic bottles.
Economical, the fruit infuser is used with tap water which is on average 100 to 300 times cheaper than bottled water. According to your desires, make different preparations every day, always keeping the same container. The infuser bottles are reusable and nomadic to quench your thirst with fruity water at the office, in transport, at the gym or on a hike...
How to choose your infusion bottle?
The size of the gourd
Infusion bottles come in different formats. The fruits can infuse for several hours, so it is not a problem to prepare your flavored water in a large capacity bottle even if the filter must remain in place.
On the other hand, just like tea, fruit retains its flavor for a long time and can be used more than once. If you want a more practical format to carry everywhere, it is therefore possible to fill a small bottle several times during the day.
The materials
With the success of detox waters, many infusion bottle models have emerged. Different materials coexist, but do not look alike.
Plastic infuser bottles are attractive for their light weight and impact resistance. However, some materials contain Bisphenol A, an endocrine disruptor with harmful effects on health.
Glass infusion bottles are totally healthy and eco-friendly, durable and recyclable. They do not transfer chemicals into flavored drinks. However, they are more fragile and present a risk of breakage. They are perfect for use at home, but less suitable for travel.
THE stainless steel infuser bottles combine the advantages of two previous models. They are safe for health and do not fear shocks, convenient to use indoors or outdoors.
In addition, they keep flavored drinks at the ideal temperature thanks to their isothermal function.
How to prepare detox water?
It's much easier and faster than making fresh juice or smoothies. To make detox water, all you need to do is:
- Select fruits and/or vegetables
- Cut them into pieces to be able to insert them in the central infuser
- Screw the latter onto the cap and insert it into your water bottle previously filled with fresh water
- Leave to infuse for at least 30 minutes or even several hours or overnight.
Your detox water is ready to be tasted! You are free to leave the infuser in place or remove it.
Lemon and mint leaves, strawberries and citrus fruits, apple and kiwi, watermelon and cucumber, pineapple and ginger… The possibilities of association are numerous.
