Method

Bottle preparation

1

Chill bottle

If the bottled water is not already cold, place the 75 cl bottle in a refrigerator for at least 2 hours or in an ice bucket for 20–30 minutes until pleasantly chilled (4–8°C).

2

Inspect the bottle cap and label for cleanliness. Wipe the neck and cap with a clean cloth if needed.

3

Open the bottle by twisting the cap counterclockwise. Place the cap on a clean surface or set aside.

Serving (plain)

4

Pour the chilled water directly from the bottle into a clean glass, filling to the desired level. Serve immediately.

Serving (with optional garnish)

5

If using ice, add 3–4 ice cubes to the glass before pouring.

6

For a lemon garnish: thinly slice one lemon and add 1 slice to the rim or into the glass. For mint: lightly slap the mint sprig between your palms to release aroma and place it in the glass or on the rim.

7

Pour the chilled water into the prepared glass. Serve immediately with a napkin or coaster.

Storage

8

Reseal any remaining water by replacing the cap tightly. Store the opened bottle in the refrigerator and consume within 24–48 hours for best freshness.
