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

Serve immediately and drink. Refill as needed.

Mint-infused water

Room-temperature water for sensitive uses
If you need room-temperature water (for babies' formula preparation or sensitive digestion), let filtered water sit in a covered container until it reaches ambient temperature before using.
