A Fantastic Infuser Pitcher Fro Fruit Or Tea

Since I gave up drinking any kind of soda and other sugary drinks, I have looked for things to drink besides just water and coffee. Okay, and tea too. But to find things that don't have sugar or have sweeteners that aren't good for you is hard, especially ones I can afford. So many are crazy expensive and I can't justify that expense.

The one thing I have really enjoyed is making my own infused water. It's so refreshing and I can come up with basic flavors or make my own unique ones. That's why I was thrilled to try out this really neat Infuser Pitcher from MAMI WATA. I have tried a few others, but this one is really nice.

The pitcher holds 2 liters with the insert in it or 2.3 liters without. That means I can make a pitcher full and not have to make more in several hours like I have to with my infuser tumbler. I drink a lot of water and this saves me time. I also like the shape of the pitcher. Since it is straight on 2 sides and curved on the other two, it is easier to fit in the fridge than a round one. It saves space.

It comes with two inserts, one for fruit, veggies, and herbs (or any fun combination of them all) and it comes with an insert for tea. This makes the pitcher that much more enjoyable for me. I love a good glass of iced tea, and I can make it quickly with this infuser. The pitcher is made of thick, durable Tritan, an environmental-friendly material that is not acrylic or glass so will not shatter. It is BPA free and is heat and stain resistant so does not collect refrigerator odors and can be put in a dishwasher to clean. I love that! It can handle cold and hot water, so brewing tea or infusing fruit is a breeze.

The pitcher has a great silicone seal on it. Nothing leaks when it is attached correctly. The handle is easy to grip and easy to pour with. Near the top of the handle is a 'switch' that opens or closes the pitcher. It's very easy to operate and can be done with the hand holding the handle while holding a glass to pour in to.

You also get a bonus with the pitcher too. It comes with a nice silicone ice ball mold. The ice balls end up being a good size to fit in a good number of glass sizes. It's easy to fill the mold and freeze. We have enjoyed it a lot. I like to fill it with organic, sugar-free fruit juice and freeze, then drop the ice ball in some of the water I have infused in the pitcher.

You can even make fun fruit pops with the mold. Just fill with juice or flavored water, place a popsicle stick in the small opening in the top and freeze. Slip the top of the mold off over the sticks and enjoy. Easy and fun for a special treat!

I know I will be using this Infuser Pitcher a lot and the ice ball mold often too. This is one product I can highly recommend to you!

StyloPhora Ice Ball Molds Are A Great Addition To All My Kitchen Gadgets!

We have the neatest gadget in our house right now. It's Ice Ball Molds from StyloPhora. I don't often get super excited about new gadgets (okay maybe a little more excited than I like to admit), but these Ice Ball Molds are a lot of fun!

Here's some info from StyloPhora

• The product is designed for making large perfectly round ice balls to make great looking drinks for parties and also is great for whiskey drinkers (not something endorsed by The Minister's Wife).
• The silicone molds come in a pack of 3 and include a silicone funnel in the pack.
• These ice ball molds come in a great clear tube packaging, with easy to follow instructions.
• The funnel can be used to fill the molds without mess or spilling your choice of liquid, it is also very useful for other applications in the kitchen.
• The molds also have fill lines printed on them so that they can be easily filled with the correct amount of liquid.
• Dogs also love to play with these ice balls in their water bowl.

I can attest to dogs loving them! Every time I get one out of the freezer now, Bender seems to think it is for him! He loves chewing them up and it keeps him entertained for a short while and is a nice, inexpensive treat for him.

They are so easy to use. The package comes with a set of three ice ball molds and a funnel. The funnel is one of those nifty expandable ones that store so nicely out of the way without taking up much space.

At the top of each Ice Ball Mold is a hole for filling it. There is also a black ring printed on the mold. That's the fill line. You fill the mold at the most to the black ring to make your big ice ball. I found that filling to just under the ring works best. Adding the water just to the ring tends to make the mold separate a little in the freezer.

One the mold is filled you place it in the freezer for about 5 hours. You can tell when it is frozen completely. Then you take off the top. Hold the mold upside down, holding the mold edge, push on the bottom of the mold. Out pops the ball! It's really easy once you get the hang of it. A few times we had some determined not to come out, but a little water run over them and out they came!

It has been so nice to have these. One big ice cube ball keeps a drink cold for a long time. It melts much slower than small cubes, so it doesn't water down drinks as quickly. And it lasts through several refills! We love them! I have already tried flavored beverages in them to freeze. I am planning on using it for making special punch and drinks for parties. That way things have the full flavor of the beverage and they won't get watered down. I will just be making the ice balls ahead of time and storing them in a large zipper plastic bag. Easy!!

Like I said, these come in a package of three and are well worth the money. All of the molds come with a lifetime guarantee. They sell for $13.97 currently on Amazon. You can purchase them HERE! I highly recommend then to you!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
