Cook's Tips:

The longer your water infuses, the more flavorful it will be. Some fruits or herbs will infuse more quickly than others. Citrus releases flavor quickly, and herbs can take a little longer. Also, some berries will release color into the water.

For enhanced flavors, let water sit at room temperature to infuse.

You can peel the rind off of citrus to lessen bitterness.
