Place fruit (or vegetables, spices, 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, 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
Freeze the infused water in an ice cube tray and pop cubes into your bottled water.
The colored frozen cubes 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.
