Ingredients

Scale

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

  1. 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.
  2. When cooking is complete, use a quick release.
  3. 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.
