Strawberry, lemon and basil infused water step by step:

- Put the sliced fruit and basil inside the jar
- Fill it with 1L of fresh filtered water from tap
- Let the mix infuse for 1 hour
- Enjoy!
If waiting for one hour seems too long or you want more flavor faster, you can poke the fruits and basil gently with a fork before adding the water. After drinking the water, refill with filtered water again. The flavor will be less intense the second time, but you will make the most of the ingredients!
