Apricot and fig boiled water is made by simmering apricots and figs in water until softened, then drinking the liquid with or without the fruit. Rinse dried fruit first, and taste the drink before adding any sweetener, since dried fruit can make it naturally sweet.
Apricot and fig boiled water may help some people, but most of the fruit’s fiber stays in the fruit if you strain it. Eating the softened fruit provides more fiber. This drink is not a constipation treatment; persistent symptoms need medical advice.
You can make apricot and fig boiled water with either fresh or dried fruit. Dried fruit gives the drink a more concentrated flavor, while fresh fruit tends to taste lighter. Rinse dried fruit before cooking, and simmer fresh fruit until tender.
Either way works: strain apricot and fig boiled water for a clear drink, or leave the softened fruit in. Eating the fruit gives you more of its fiber than drinking the strained liquid alone. You can also mash the fruit into the water.
Apricot and fig boiled water can be a lighter alternative to a sweetened drink, but it does not cause weight loss on its own. Added sugar increases its energy content, and leaving the fruit in makes it more filling than drinking the strained liquid.
Keep apricot and fig boiled water covered in the refrigerator and drink it within a few days. Don’t leave it sitting at room temperature for long periods. Discard it if its smell, appearance, or taste changes.
Yes, apricot and fig boiled water can be served cold, warm, or hot. Let it cool before refrigerating, and keep it covered while chilling. Serving it cold changes the temperature and taste, not the basic drink.
Yes, apricot and fig boiled water can contain natural sugars that dissolve from the fruit, especially when made with dried apricots and figs. Adding honey or sugar raises the total further. Leaving the fruit in also means you consume the fruit’s sugars.
Yes, you can drink apricot and fig boiled water on an empty stomach; there is no special timing required. If it upsets your stomach, try a smaller serving or have it with food. It is not a substitute for water throughout the day.
Yes, cinnamon or lemon can be added to apricot and fig boiled water for a different flavor. Simmer a cinnamon stick with the fruit, or stir in lemon juice after cooking. Neither is necessary for the drink to work as a fruit infusion.

Apricot and fig boiled water is a simple homemade drink made by simmering apricots and figs in water until their flavour infuses the liquid. The fruit can be strained out or left in to soften; without added sugar, the sweetness comes from the fruit itself.
It can be enjoyed warm or chilled, on its own or alongside breakfast, and works as a gentle alternative to a sweeter drink. It is low in calories and provides small amounts of fibre and potassium. If you eat the softened fruit too, you’ll get more fibre; for a lighter flavour, use less fruit or dilute the finished drink with water.
