Method

Main

  1. 1

    Ensure your drinking glass or bottle is clean. Rinse with fresh water if needed.

  2. 2

    Pour 1 cup of cold, potable drinking water into the glass or bottle.

  3. 3

    If serving immediately, proceed to Optional additions (if using). Otherwise cover and store in the refrigerator or a cooler to keep cold.

Optional additions

  1. 4

    Add ice

    Add 3 ice cubes to the glass if you want the water chilled faster and to stay cold while drinking.

  2. 5

    Add lemon

    If using lemon, wash the lemon, cut one thin slice, and drop the slice into the water for a mild citrus flavor.

  3. 6

    Add mint

    If using mint, rinse 2 fresh mint leaves and gently clap them between your palms to release aroma, then drop into the water.

  4. 7

    Stir gently with a spoon if you added lemon or mint to distribute flavor. Serve immediately.
