Infused water is a simple, healthy way to add natural flavor to your daily hydration. Whether you're looking to cut down on sugary drinks or just want a refreshing twist on plain water, a Kilner® Juicer Jar Set makes the process effortless. In this guide, we'll show you how to create beautiful and tasty infused water using this versatile glass jar, perfect for home, office, or on-the-go.
The Kilner® Juicer Jar Set is designed with a built-in strainer and a reamer, making it ideal for citrus juices and infusions. But it's also perfect for infusing water with fruits, herbs, and vegetables. With its airtight clip-top lid and durable glass construction, you can prepare a batch of flavored water in minutes and enjoy it throughout the day.
Why Use a Kilner® Juicer Jar Set for Infused Water?
The Kilner® Juicer Jar Set is more than just a citrus juicer. Its 1-liter capacity is ideal for infusing water, and the built-in strainer allows you to keep fruit pieces separate from the liquid, making pouring and drinking a breeze. The glass material ensures no lingering odors or stains, so you can switch from lemon water to cucumber mint without any flavor transfer.
Unlike plastic bottles, glass doesn't leach chemicals, keeping your infused water pure and fresh. The clip-top lid creates a tight seal, so you can shake the jar gently to release flavors without worrying about spills. Plus, the jar's elegant design looks great on your kitchen counter or desk, encouraging you to drink more water throughout the day.
- 1-liter capacity – perfect for a day's worth of hydration

Step-by-Step: Making Infused Water in Your Kilner® Juicer Jar
Start by washing your chosen fruits, herbs, or vegetables thoroughly. Slice citrus fruits like lemons, limes, or oranges into thin rounds. For berries, a gentle crush helps release their juices. Cucumber and mint are classic additions; simply slice the cucumber and gently bruise the mint leaves to awaken their oils.
Place the prepared ingredients into the Kilner® Juicer Jar Set. You can use the strainer basket to hold larger pieces, or add them directly to the jar for a more intense flavor. Fill the jar with cold, filtered water, leaving a little space at the top. Close the lid securely and give it a gentle shake to mix the ingredients.
Refrigerate the jar for at least 2-4 hours to allow the flavors to infuse. For a stronger taste, you can leave it overnight. When you're ready to drink, pour the water through the strainer into a glass, or simply sip directly from the jar if you prefer a more rustic experience. The infused water can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Use cold water – it infuses better and stays refreshing
- Slice ingredients thinly to increase surface area and speed up infusion
- Taste after 2 hours and adjust the ingredients to your preference
- Refill the jar with more water for a second, milder infusion
Delicious Flavor Combinations to Try
The possibilities for infused water are endless. Start with classic citrus blends like lemon and lime, or add a sprig of rosemary for an aromatic twist. For a tropical vibe, try pineapple and coconut water (or just pineapple with a few mint leaves). Cucumber and mint is a spa-like favorite, while berries like strawberries and blueberries add a touch of sweetness without any added sugar.
If you're new to infused water, the Kilner® Juicer Jar Set is also great for making detox water. Combine grapefruit, cucumber, and a few slices of ginger for a zesty, metabolism-boosting drink. For a soothing evening beverage, try chamomile flowers and a slice of apple. Remember to always use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- Lemon, lime & mint – a refreshing classic
- Cucumber, mint & lime – spa water at home
- Strawberry, basil & black pepper – surprisingly delicious
- Orange, blueberry & rosemary – antioxidant boost
Tips for the Best Infused Water
To get the most flavor from your ingredients, always use ripe fruits and fresh herbs. Avoid over-infusing, as some ingredients like citrus peels can become bitter after 12 hours. If you're using the jar for the first time, give it a quick rinse with warm water and soap to remove any manufacturing residue.
The Kilner® Juicer Jar Set is also a great companion to other Kilner® products. For instance, you can prepare a large batch of infused water in a Kilner® 0.5 Litre Preserve Jar and store it in the fridge, then use the Juicer Jar Set for a smaller, daily portion. This way, you always have a refreshing drink ready.
Kilner® 0.5 Litre Preserve Jar
Remember to clean your jar thoroughly after each use. The glass is dishwasher safe, but hand washing the lid and strainer is recommended to preserve the rubber seal. With proper care, your Kilner® Juicer Jar Set will last for years, providing endless opportunities for healthy hydration.
- Use filtered water for the cleanest taste
- Don't leave citrus peels in for more than 12 hours to avoid bitterness
- Store infused water in the fridge and consume within 3 days
- Experiment with different herbs like basil, thyme, or lavender
