A drink selection for anytime is to include
Water
Ice Water
Branded Water
Tap Water
“Water for here” is to be provided (in a glass with ice and a napkin. Thanks.”)
Water can be purchased by the bottle. It may be flavored; these flavors, even when enhanced with vitamin-and-minerals, have added sugar, and therefore calories. Water could be provided from the tap. Water is to be served in a real glass, “for here,” for class. Stemmed glassware can be used for bar-ware. Yes, it may be a 12 oz Ice Tea/Claret glass. In public, you can ask for a cup for water, and then if necessary a cup for ice. Ice water can force the body to burn energy (calories) to get it back to warm.
Ice cold water can be contained in a real glass pitcher, or carafe, and or in chilled glass bottles. Each may become your signature item. Water can be chilled in recycled 1.5 liter wine bottles with a cap. I have sixteen cold water bottles that can be stored up or on the side. Four are chilling in the refrigerator now.
The labels can be removed by soaking each in water or white vinegar and then scraping each off. The residue glue may be removed with a spoonful of peanut butter being allowed to sit on it until it loses its grip.Then the rest could be removed with the blade of a place knife. A little vinegar can be stored in each bottle until required to store water, during pipe breaks, installations, repairs, or for that awesome party.
Water can be served from screw top bottles or may be decanted into another re-cycled wine bottle without a screw top. You may get pitchers, lots of them, from which you can serve water and a selection of drinks. You could get beverage dispensers with a base, and set each dispenser on a stand atop a tray. Indoors avoid serving water or beverages out of coolers or jugs.
Lemon or lime can be squeezed into each bottle of cold water or sliced and set atop water in each glass. You can roll a lemon or lime on a hard surface to release the juice inside, then cut it in half and use a citrus squeezer or press each half through a funnel in a glass to get the juice outside. You may add lemon to water ahead of meal time. “The digestive enzymes in the lemon, plus the fiber, will get your metabolism and digestive system moving,” and so assist digesting things you eat later in the day. Pre-sliced lemons can be stored in a container. Lime may help to regulate blood sugars. Both could just help to make water taste better.
If you are going to obtain water remember to get or add lemon or lime. Informally sugar can be added to taste.
When you are trying to burn fat, you can get a cinnamon extract and add two drops to each glass.
Water for home can be purified. Install a system. It can be provided by a reverse osmosis systems with calcium and trace minerals added back by tablet. Beware of water in the wild. Here, water can be purified with an iodine Tincture Solution of 2% iodine and 47% alcohol used at 8 drops per 32 ounces of water. Get Iodine. For back up water in long term storage you can use 5 drops, and get less taste.
Serving size: Half your body weight in ounces per day. You can drink up to eight glasses or water a day and eat the rest of your water; for this there are vitamin filled fruits, plants, and vegetables. Each of these can also be topped with lemon or lime.
