Ingredients
Wassail
1 apple, seeded, and sliced or cut into large chunks
zest of 1 orange
1 orange, white pith cut away and discarded
zest of 1/2 a lemon
1/2 lemon, white pith cut away and discarded
3 cinnamon sticks
5 whole cloves
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/2 vanilla bean, chopped, or 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
Pear & Cardamom
1 large pear, seeded and cut into large chunks
8 cardamom pods or 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
Pomegranate Vanilla
seeds of 1 pomegranate
1/2 vanilla bean, chopped or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Grapefruit Pineapple
1 grapefruit, peel and white pith cut away and discarded, then cut into large chunks
1 cup chopped pineapple
Grape
2 cups purple grapes, chopped if skins are thick
Instructions
Place fruit (or vegetables and herbs of your choice) in a mesh steamer basket. Set inside the pressure cooker pot. Add water to barely cover the produce, about 4-5 cups. Secure the lid and turn pressure release knob to a sealed position. Cook at high pressure for 5 minutes.
When cooking is complete, use a quick release.
Remove the steamer basket and discard cooked produce. Let the flavored water cool slightly than pour into a mason jar, top with a pourable lid and place in the refrigerator to chill.
Notes
Straight from the jar, the water is quite potent. I like to add 2-3 tablespoons per 8 ounces of water for just a hint of flavor; sweeten if desired
Another option: Freeze the infused water in an ice cube tray and pop them into your bottled water.
The colored frozen cubes would look amazing in a big punch bowl for a party!
If you don’t have a mesh steamer basket, this could be made directly in the pot and then poured through a strainer to filter out the produce after it’s cooked.
