1
Serve plain water
Ensure a clean glass or cup. Pour 1 cup of cold drinking water into the glass from a filtered pitcher, tap, or bottled source. Serve immediately.
2
Add ice (optional)
If you prefer chilled water, add 3 ice cubes to the glass before or after pouring the water depending on preference. Allow 30–60 seconds for the water to cool slightly if poured over ice.

3
Lemon water
Cut half a lemon wedge (or use pre-cut). Squeeze the juice of half a wedge into the glass, then drop the wedge into the water for extra aroma. Stir gently with a spoon and serve.
4
Mint water
Gently bruise 2 fresh mint leaves between your fingers to release oils, then add them to the glass. Pour water over the leaves and let sit 1–2 minutes before serving for a subtle mint flavor.
5
Sparkling option
If you prefer carbonation, substitute the cold drinking water with 1 cup of chilled sparkling water. Add ice or optional garnishes as described above.
