fruit -- whatever kind you like (except no bananas); make sure it's good and ripe for maximum sweetness and flavor. I like to use all kinds of citrus and berries. I also found pineapple and watermelon to work well for flavoring water.

If you don't want to buy whole ones many grocery stores sell containers pre cut. Or you can use frozen.
•
herbs -- these are optional, but many herbs are a surprising complement to fruit flavors; almost any herb will work depending on your personal preference
•
jars or pitchers -- I use 2 quart mason jars primarily, but any 2 quart pitcher will do.
•
fruit infusion pitcher--I recently purchased one of these--it's another option if you think you'll be making infused waters regularly; a very easy, tidy way to strain fruit from water.
•
fruit infusion water bottle--I love using this for a portable, on-the-go option.
•
muddler or wooden spoon for mashing fruit and herbs
•
water -- I use filtered water, but regular tap water is fine if yours tastes good to you
