Method

Preparation of Water Base

  1. 1

    Gather Spring Water

    Pour 1000 ml of spring water into a large pitcher or container. Make sure the water is cold for the best refreshing experience.

Add Flavor Enhancements

  1. 2

    Incorporate Lemon Zest

    Using a microplane or zester, grate the zest of one lemon into the pitcher with the spring water. This will add a subtle citrus aroma.

  2. 3

    Add Mint Leaves

    Gently crush the mint leaves between your fingers to release their oils and add them to the pitcher. Stir lightly to mix.

  3. 4

    Include Cucumber Slices

    Wash and slice a cucumber into thin rounds, then add these to the pitcher for a refreshing and cooling effect.

Chill and Serve

  1. 5

    Refrigerate

    Cover the pitcher and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the water to chill.

  2. 6

    Serve

    After chilling, serve the acqua panna in glasses with ice cubes if desired. Garnish with a mint leaf or a slice of cucumber for an elegant touch.
