Pure Water (Serves all uses)
Method
Serve and Prepare
Chill the glass (optional)
If you prefer very cold water, place the serving glass in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes or in the freezer for 2–3 minutes. Do not forget the glass in the freezer for longer than a few minutes to avoid cracking.
Fill with water
Pour 4 cups of cold, filtered water into your prepared glass or pitcher. If you are preparing multiple servings, scale the volume accordingly (1 cup = 237 ml).
Add ice (optional)
If desired, add 6 ice cubes to the glass to keep the water extra cold. Allow a moment for the water to chill and for slight dilution from melting ice if left to sit.
Garnish (optional)
For a subtle flavor and visual appeal, add 1 thin lemon slice to the rim or float it in the water. Add 1 fresh mint sprig for aroma. These are optional and can be omitted for plain water.
Serve immediately. Refill as needed. Store extra filtered water in a covered pitcher in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours for best taste.
