Staying well-hydrated during pregnancy is one of those simple things that makes a real difference, and plain water can get boring fast. This infused pitcher brings together tart cranberries and bright, juicy orange slices for a drink that looks beautiful and tastes like a genuine treat. The gentle squeeze-and-steep method pulls natural color and flavor from the fruit without any added sugars, artificial sweeteners, or caffeine — all things worth avoiding right now. Everything in this recipe is straightforward and whole: just fresh fruit and cold water, nothing to second-guess on a label. After a few hours in the fridge, the water turns a soft blush-pink with a light citrus-cranberry aroma that makes it feel far more special than it is to put together. It's the kind of thing you can prep the night before and reach for all day long, which is exactly the kind of low-effort win that matters most when you're already juggling so much. Pour it over ice for an extra-refreshing glass, or sip it straight from the pitcher as the fruit keeps infusing.

Lightly squeeze or gently press the cranberries between your fingers over the pitcher to break the skins — this releases their juice and color into the water.
