Blackberry And Sage Infused Water

Infused waters are all the rage at the moment. And this blackberry and sage water tastes both fruity but with the herbal hint of the earthiness of sage too. The perfect thirst quencher on a hot day!

What’s to love about infused waters

• Infused waters have all the flavour but none of the sugar of the usual flavoured drinks.
• Still drinks with no fizz are actually better for you.
• The nutrients from the fruit are infused into the water so you get all those amazing benefits in one delicious thirst-quenching glass.

Ingredients for blackberry and sage water

• Blackberries – you can use either fresh blackberries or frozen berries. Whatever you have to hand.
• Sage leaves, you want fresh sage for this recipe not dried sage which would leave a powdery residue in your infused water.
• Chilli – this is optional but it does give a lovely bit of heat and a little kick to the water.
• Water of course.

How to make blackberry sage water

This blackberry sage water is a two-part recipe and then it’s just a case of letting time do the work for you and straining the results. What could be easier really.

You start by making a sage tea and setting this aside to cool. While this is happening blitz the blackberries and chilli in food processor then press through a nylon sieve.

Strain the sage tea and add to the berry puree in a jug and top with 3 cups of water. Leave in fridge overnight then strain into another jug or bottle for a gorgeously clear colourful and tasty drink that is healthy too.

Cheers!
