How Does the Aqua Zinger Water Bottle Create Better Infusions?

• Pulverizing the ingredients releases a greater hue, aroma and flavor than simply soaking fruit in water.

• Pulverizing the ingredients requires the use of less fruit than simply soaking fruit in water.

• Pulverizing the ingredients accelerates the infusion process vs. simply soaking fruit in water.

Using Your Aqua Zinger Water Bottle

Ease of operation is the Zing standard. Simply unscrew the bottom cup of the Zinger, add ingredients of your choice and then screw bottom lid back on. Fill with water (or other liquid of choice), shake, let soak and then enjoy! Each Zinger is simple to clean and allows you to enjoy creating tasty new infusions. Aqua Zings have more robust flavours after 15-20 minutes of steeping, but an instant infusion is still delicous, albeit lighter in flavour. Click here for Aqua Zinger recipes and suggestions!

The Aqua Zinger typically produces 1-2 drinks per Zing. In order to return to a tasty concentration, add new ingredients after two servings have been enjoyed. Empty the Zinger completely, discard used ingredients, and clean before Zinging a tasty new batch of water. Click here for Aqua Zinger instructions of use, tips & tricks and more.

Aqua Zinger Frequently Asked Questions

How many drinks will you get from one grind with the Aqua Zinger?
About two. Maybe more depending on infusion times, and types of infusion items. Allow the second drink/infusion to steep longer than the first.

How do you create a more "instant" infusion with the Aqua Zinger?
Do a double grind - without water added, grind your ingredients once, shake the vessel, unscrew the grinder, and re-screw on. Add water, and shake aggressively. Allow 15-20 minutes for steeping, and shake again.

How do you clean the Aqua Zinger?
For a quick ingredient change and clean, simply unscrew the bottom from the empty bottle, and then flick the "spent" ingredients from the cup and top blade set into the trash. Rinse the top grinder and bottom cup, and it will be ready for the next zing. Note: it is also recommended to do a thorough cleaning (i.e. top-rack dishwasher) on the Zinger when needed.

Aqua Zinger Instructions of Use

• Thoroughly wash and dry ingredients before Zinging.

• Thoroughly wash and dry Zinger before using.

• Make sure the vessel is empty and that the top lid is on tight before adding ingredients.

• Remove the cup from the bottom by unscrewing it from the base.

• Remove the grinder blades from the cup by pinching the contoured handle and lifting upward. Be careful of the grinder blades when adding or removing ingredients.

• If necessary, cut cleaned ingredients into pieces before grinding, or carve off chunks, especially in the case of fruits or vegetables with pits or rinds.

• Add the ingredients to the cup.

• It is recommended to completely fill the cup, but make sure the ingredients are not overflowing. Refit the grinder blades into the cup. It's okay if the blades are stabbed into the ingredients, and not completely centered.

• Screw the cup back onto the bottom of the bottle. While screwing, the "keys' of the grinder will "lock" into the bottle to start the grind. When doing so, make sure the threads are aligned. It is recommended to grind the ingredients further by slowly unscrewing the base and then back on tight (do so a couple times). 

• Unscrew the cap and add your beverage option. Fill shy of the top to help with shaking.

• Reseal the cap, shake aggressively, and allow it to steep for 15-20 minutes. The longer the beverage steeps, the stronger the flavour.

• Be sure to shake the Aqua Zinger again before drinking to maximize the flavour infusion. Shaking is key to blending the flavours.

Aqua Zinger Tips & Tricks!

• Always try to use ripened and fresh ingredients when Zinging; try to avoid canned or prepared items. Harder fruits such as apples typically require additional time to steep to blend the favours. Try a variety of flavours in combination, or separately, to find your favourite flavour(s). The juicier the fruit, the more the flavour punch.

• Experiment with your Zinger to develop your own personal preference for steeping times with various ingredients. Strawberries, watermelon, raspberries, cucumber, mint, and several other ingredients have great flavour profiles.

• Expect approximately two full drinks before refreshing or changing ingredients. Over two refills with the same mixture will diminish the flavour. Allow for longer steeping times when doing multiple infusions.

• If possible, keep refrigerated as water is best served cold.

• Some ingredients merely flavour with a slight hint, aroma, or sweetness.

• Carbonated beverage options such as soda water are ok to use with your Zinger.

• Hot liquids can be added, such as tea or coffee if desired.

• If liquid droplets are trapped in the threads of your bottom cup or top cap, flight leakage can occur. Make sure threads are dry when doing a new grind.

Aqua Zinger Cleaning & Emptying Tips

• To discard the used ingredients of a grind, make sure the Aqua Zinger is empty, unscrew the cup from the bottom of the bottle and "flick" the remnants from the cup and the top blade into the trash. The "waste" should easily remove itself. After a rinse and clean, the Aqua Zinger is ready for a new grind.

• Be careful of the blades when dislodging any ingredients. Always use a utensil to dislodge any wedged ingredients.

• Hand washing is preferred, or use the top rack of dishwasher, if needed.

• After each use, clean all parts with hot soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and turn upside down to air dry completely. Always store with the lid removed.

• If the top blades remain in the keys when unscrewing the cup from the bottom of the bottle, simply jiggle the bottle and the top blades will drop into the cup. To pull the top grinder off the keys by hand, always grab the sides and not the blades.

Aqua Zinger Serving Recommendations

• Serve water cold or chilled.
