The infusion chamber is the right size for the amount of water that it holds, so you get lots of great-tasting fruit infused water with a pitcher that also looks great on a dinner table.

- 1 inch Ginger Root, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup Frozen Mango- fresh is fine too
Get Started:
To peel the ginger uses the back of a spoon or a vegetable peeler, just peel the part that you will be using. Using a sharp knife slice ginger into 3-4 coin-sized slices. You want them about the size and thickness of the coin.
-Drop into your pitcher and add in the mango.
-Top with 3 cups of ice and then add with water. (the ice is important, it holds down the ginger and mango to help infuse the water)
-Place in your fridge for 1-3 hours before serving.
-When serving add a couple of frozen mango chunks in a pretty glass for ice cubes.
Mango Ginger Water will keep in the fridge for 24 hours.
You can use fresh or frozen mango, I like frozen because I don’t have to cut and it is always picked at the peak of the season and frozen so if I can’t get mangos in the season I can still always have some in the house. Plus they are like little ice cubes here, fun! I highly recommend you use fresh ginger, the powdered just does not taste the same and will clump in your water. Check your farmer’s market or the produce section of your grocery store for ginger, you can store it in the freezer to make it last longer.
