Notes
- Fridge: Fresh strawberry water should be stored in an airtight container, such as a glass jar or plastic bottle, and refrigerated immediately after it is made. The container should be tightly sealed to prevent air from entering, which can cause the juice to spoil more quickly.
- Freezer: Use a freezer-safe container like a plastic jug. It's important to leave some space at the top of the container as the juice will expand when it freezes.
- Defrosting: When you're ready to use the frozen watermelon water, simply remove it from the freezer and let it thaw in the fridge overnight. Alternatively, you can also thaw it at room temperature for a few hours.
