Bottled Water Recipe

Bottled Water

1. 1

   Prepare bottle

   Check the bottle cap to ensure it is sealed. If the bottle is sealed and clean, wash the outside of the bottle with a damp cloth if needed to remove dust or debris.

2. 2

   Open bottle

   Hold the bottle firmly with one hand. With the other hand, twist the cap counterclockwise until it comes off. If the bottle has a tamper-evident ring, break it away as you open.

3. 3

   Optional: Add ice

   If you prefer your water chilled and the bottle is wide enough to add ice, tilt the bottle slightly and drop the ice cubes in. If the bottle opening is narrow, skip this step to avoid spills.

4. 4

   Optional: Add citrus

   Squeeze the lemon or lime wedge into the bottle, then drop the wedge in for extra flavor. Taste and adjust by adding more wedges if desired.

5. 5

   Optional: Use straw

   Insert a reusable straw through the bottle opening if you use one. This keeps drinking easier and reduces spilling when on the move.

6. 6

   Drink directly from the bottle or pour into a glass. Recap the bottle if you will keep remaining water for later, twisting the cap clockwise until snug to preserve freshness.
