Method

For the glass

1

Prepare glass

If desired, chill your glass in the refrigerator for a few minutes or rinse it with cold water. This step is optional but helps keep the water colder longer.

2

Add ice (optional)

Place 0–3 ice cubes into the glass depending on how cold you want the water. Use no ice if you prefer room-temperature water.

3

Pour water

Pour 1 cup (250 ml) of cold drinking water into the glass. If using bottled or filtered water, pour directly from the container; if using tap water, ensure it is safe to drink.

4

Garnish (optional)

Add 1 lemon slice and/or 1 mint leaf to the glass if you want a subtle flavor. Gently stir once with a spoon or straw to combine flavors.

5

Serve immediately. Enjoy plain or with your chosen garnish and ice.

For serving (optional)

Prepare pitcher

If serving multiple people, use a chilled pitcher. Add 1,000 ml (about 4 cups) of chilled drinking water to the pitcher.

7

Add ice and garnishes (optional)

Add up to 6 ice pieces, 1 halved lemon, and 2 sprigs of fresh mint to the pitcher for a lightly flavored, cold water. Gently stir to distribute.

8

Keep cold

Keep the pitcher in the refrigerator or on a bed of ice until ready to serve to maintain temperature.

9

Pour into individual glasses prepared as above and enjoy.
