How should I serve tap water to make it taste as good as possible?
A2. Taste tests have shown that tap water is enjoyed when it is served cool not too cold, not warm and that it must be fresh. If clear water is not enough and its a question of adding a taste, simply adding a flavoured ice cube, a fresh sprig of mint or a slice of fruit will often lift the visual and taste sensation. Serving tap water through water coolers can make a feature of water provision, and it allows the water to be served chilled or at a regular temperature. Be cautious when offering squash or cordials. They are very useful when they are well diluted and fortified (i.e. with Vitamin C), and they can be provided sugar-free. However, avoid serving strong, high-sugar solutions they can often become too strong before they are the required taste for a residents palate.
