Most commercially bottled water will have an expiration date. Even if no expiration date is provided, the shelf life should be approximately one year. For water that comes from your faucet, pumped there by a municipal water source and stored in plastic containers, the water should be replaced every six months.
It is best to drink your infused water within 3-4 days. Unrefrigerated infused water should be drunk the same day it was infused. Remember, unlike store bought infused water, your water would not be pasteurized or filled with preservatives. Generally, citrus fruits such as oranges and lemon will last long. Lemon and lime are natural preservatives and help to keep your infused water tasting fresh.
