Water

Method

Water

1

Prepare chilled glass (optional)

If you prefer your still water extra cold, place a clean drinking glass in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes before serving. This step is optional but improves the drinking experience.

2

Fill with water

Remove the chilled glass (or a room-temperature glass). Pour 1 cup of cold, filtered still water into the glass. Use water that has been filtered to remove taste- and odor-causing impurities for the best flavor.

3

Add ice (optional)

If you want colder water, add up to 4 ice cubes to the glass. Allow the ice to settle briefly so the water cools evenly.

4

Garnish (optional)

If desired, float or rest a single thin lemon slice on the surface or on the rim of the glass for a subtle aroma. Do not squeeze; this is purely a garnish unless you want a slight citrus flavor.

5

Serve immediately. Refill the glass as needed to maintain freshness and temperature. Discard any water that has been sitting for long periods (several hours) to ensure the best taste.
