What it is
This is purified water that has been treated to increase its pH level. The water is then filtered and bottled. It is intended for drinking and general hydration. The packaging is designed to maintain the water's quality and purity until it is opened.
How people cook with it
Alkaline water is primarily consumed as a beverage. It can also be used in place of regular water in various kitchen applications.
- Drinking as a beverage
- Mixing with powdered drink mixes

- Using in humidifiers
To consume, simply open the bottle and pour the water into a glass or drink directly from the container. It can be chilled or served at room temperature.
