Fruit-infused water pitcher

⏱ 30 min★ Easy

Target

The pitcher is empty and the fruit and mint are unwashed on the counter.

Obstacle

It's hard to judge the right fruit-to-water ratio and steep time for a balanced flavor, and slicing slippery fruit and bruising herbs without making a mess can slow you down.

Expectation

The pitcher is filled with cold water, evenly distributed sliced fruit and bruised mint, chilled and ready to serve.
