Method
Water
Serve plain cold water
Ensure the water source is potable. If using tap water, run the tap briefly if the water has been sitting in pipes. Pour 2 cups (about 480 ml) of cold potable water into a clean glass.
Add ice (optional)
If you prefer chilled water, add 4 ice cubes to the glass. Use fewer cubes for less dilution or crushed ice for faster chilling.
Garnish (optional)
For a light flavor, float 1 slice of lemon and 2 fresh mint leaves on the surface. Gently stir once with a clean spoon to disperse aroma without over-agitating.
Serve
Serve immediately. Replace with fresh water as needed and discard any water left standing more than a few hours at room temperature.
Refill and storage
Keep a pitcher of filtered water chilled in the refrigerator for quick refills. Use within 24–48 hours for best taste. If storing longer, cover tightly and re-chill before serving.
