Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine 2 cups mixed berries (hulled strawberries, blueberries, raspberries), 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and 1/2 cup honey. Muddle with a spoon for 2 minutes until berries release juice and honey dissolves.
  2. Step 2: Transfer mixture to a pitcher, add 6 cups sparkling water, and stir gently to combine. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to infuse flavors.
  3. Step 3: Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean pitcher, discarding berry solids. Serve over ice in glasses with a sprig of mint for garnish.

How do I store leftover Berry-Mint Infusion Punch?

Refrigerate any leftover berry-mint infusion punch in a sealed pitcher or jar for up to 3–4 days. Do not reheat — drinks are served chilled. If the recipe uses sparkling water or fresh herbs, hold those back and add fresh just before pouring so the drink stays bright and fizzy.
