There is something genuinely refreshing about a drink that looks as beautiful as it tastes, and this berry-vanilla infused water delivers on both counts. Fresh strawberries and blueberries slowly steep alongside a split vanilla bean, turning plain filtered water into something fragrant, lightly sweet, and a gorgeous pale pink. Lightly pressing the blueberries before adding them is a smart little trick that coaxes out more color and flavor without any extra effort. Many flavored waters and beverages on store shelves rely on additives and thickeners that can be hard to avoid, so making your own at home puts you completely in control of what goes into your glass. The longer it sits in the fridge, the more pronounced that delicate vanilla fragrance becomes — up to eight hours if you can wait that long. Serve it over ice with a sprig of fresh mint and it feels like something you'd order at a spa, except you made it yourself.

Hull and slice the strawberries into halves or thirds. Lightly press a few of the blueberries with the back of a spoon to break the skin — this helps release their color and flavor into the water.
Place the split vanilla bean, strawberries, and blueberries into a large pitcher. Pour the cold filtered water over the fruit.
