Hi Unknown … I haven’t used an infuser, but … I’m not opposed to chunks of fruit floating around my beverage. There are a million options from cucumber and ginger and mint to berries and lemons or oranges … melons … vanilla … whatever. Be creative! If all you’re doing is just using the fruit for a bit of flavor … I wouldn’t stress it. If you’re eating lots of the fruit, as well … then maybe it’s an issue, but even then, with a lot of water and good nutrients … I think you’re fine. Just don’t get carried away, ya know?

Have you tried water infusers? I’m tempted, but worried about the fructose – any suggestions other than mint & cucumber?

Hi Melanie, erythritol will stay dissolved in water, as long as it’s not in too high a concentration. Unless you’re shooting for this to be sickeningly sweet, it’ll stay dissolved. To be on the safe side, use powdered erythritol or erythritol based blend and make sure it’s very well mixed in/dissolved. Also, perhaps err on the side of "less" sweet than "super" sweet, but … honestly, I think it’s more than fine at the amounts listed. Once it’s dissolved, it should stay that way. I hope this helps! 🙂

I know that Swerve (or any other erythritol) doesn’t really stay dissolved in water. So is this something that you’d have to stir again immediately before serving? Is it gritty? I love the idea of this watermelon drink and would love to try it!
