Shelf/Fridge Life
For best freshness, flavor, and safety:
-
Refrigerated:
Your Blueberry Basil Antioxidant Infusion will stay fresh for 24 hours in the fridge.
After that, the blueberries begin to soften, and the basil loses its aroma. -
Room Temperature:
Safe for up to 2 hours at room temperature.
Because it contains fresh fruit and herbs, it’s best not to leave it out for too long. -
Second Infusion:
You can refill the jar one time with fresh water within the first 12 hours.
After that, discard the ingredients.
