Bottled Water 16 Oz. Recipe

Inspect the sealed 16 fl oz (473 ml) bottled water for damage or leaks. Check the expiry/bottling date if present.

If the bottle is sealed, remove the cap by twisting it counterclockwise until it comes off. If the bottle is already open, confirm the water appears clear and odorless.

Hold the bottle upright and drink directly from it, or pour into a glass if preferred.

After drinking, replace the cap if you have remaining water to store; tighten the cap by turning clockwise until snug to minimize contamination.

Store unopened bottled water in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Once opened and resealed, refrigerate and consume within 24–48 hours for best taste.

Chilled with ice

If you prefer chilled water, pour the bottled water into a glass filled with 3–4 ice cubes and enjoy immediately.

With lemon or mint

To lightly flavor the water, add 1 lemon slice and/or 1 mint sprig to the glass after pouring. Allow to sit 1–2 minutes for subtle infusion, then sip.
