Bottled Water Recipe

Bottled Water

1. 1

   Prepare bottle

   If the bottle is sealed, remove the cap by twisting it counterclockwise. Inspect the bottle neck to ensure the opening is clean and there are no plastic shards or debris.

2. 2

   Optional chill

   If you prefer very cold water and the bottle is at room temperature, place it in a refrigerator for 30–60 minutes or add ice cubes to a glass. Note: adding ice directly to the bottle can cause pressure changes—prefer adding ice to a glass.

3. 3

   Serve

   Pour the water from the bottle into a clean glass if desired. Add the ice cubes to the glass if using. Garnish with a lemon or lime wedge and a mint sprig, if desired, by gently squeezing the wedge over the water to release a bit of juice and then dropping it into the glass.

4. 4

   Drink safely

   Seal and refrigerate any unused portion by replacing the cap and storing the bottle upright in the refrigerator. Consume opened bottled water within 48–72 hours for best taste. Dispose of the bottle properly or recycle when empty.
