Bottle Water Recipe

Chill (if desired)

If the bottled water is not already cold, place the sealed bottle in a refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or in an ice bucket for 10–15 minutes until chilled to your preference.

Prepare serving vessel if using: select a clean glass or cup. Add 4 ice cubes to the glass if you prefer your water extra cold.

Open the bottle: remove the cap by twisting it counterclockwise. If the bottle has a tamper-evident ring, discard the ring and cap properly.

Pour and garnish (optional): if serving in a glass, pour water from the bottle into the glass over the ice. Add one lemon slice to the rim or into the glass and drop in a mint sprig for aroma if desired.

Close and store: if you will not finish the bottle, reseal it tightly and store it in the refrigerator. Discard any uneaten garnishes and used ice when finished.

Serve: present the bottled water or filled glass to your guest or enjoy yourself. Consume within 24 hours for best freshness once opened.
