A medley of fresh fruits, including pineapple, orange, apple, and berries, mixed with flavorful herbs and spices, creates the colorful fruit infusion known as tisana frutal. The fruit pieces give this drink a somewhat textured mouthfeel and a pleasant, sweet-tangy flavor. Its Spanish-inspired moniker, which means “fruit tea,” emphasizes its herbal flavor.

How To Make Tisana Frutal
- Get the fruits ready: Slice the oranges, chop the pineapple, and cut the apple into tiny bits.
- Mix the ingredients: In a large pitcher, combine the pineapple, orange wedges, apple cubes, and mixed berries.
- Make the mixture sweeter: Add cold water and whisk until the honey dissolves.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the mixture and toss in a cinnamon stick to add flavor.
- Chill the tisana: Allow the drink to cool in the fridge for half an hour so that the tastes can meld.
- Serve and savor: Pour into glasses over ice, top with a piece of fruit, and savor every sip!
Recipe Tips:
- Tisana’s Tropical Bliss. For a tropical twist, substitute mango and papaya for the apple and berries. Replace the ordinary water with one cup of coconut water to improve the beverage. Add some mint leaves to make it seem more oriental. To bring out the pleasant flavors, chill it more. The mango and papaya give it a silky texture, while the coconut water naturally sweetens it.
- Berry-Lover’s Paradise. Double the amount of berries, and omit the pineapple for a berry-centric experience. Add 1 tablespoon of raspberry syrup to amplify the sweetness. Balance the flavors by using chilled green tea instead of water. Stir well to blend the vibrant berry flavors. Garnish each glass with a fresh strawberry or blueberry skewer.
- Infusion with Green Herbs. Replace the cinnamon stick with a fresh rosemary sprig and add 1 cup of fresh cucumber slices. Instead of using plain water, use a chilled herbal tea, such as mint or chamomile. Add a spoonful of chia seeds for texture and to increase its health appeal.
