Store plain drinking water in the vessel for about 6–8 hours or overnight.
* Drink it in moderation; there is no established need to consume all your daily water this way.
* Clean the vessel regularly to remove tarnish and oxidation.
* Do not store acidic beverages (such as lemon water, fruit juices, vinegar-based drinks, or buttermilk) in copper vessels, as acids increase copper leaching and can raise the risk of copper toxicity.
Do not consume excessive amounts of water stored in copper vessels. While copper is an essential mineral and drinking water stored in a copper vessel in moderation is generally considered safe, excessive intake may lead to an increased copper intake and potential health risks. It is recommended to consume copper-infused water in moderation as part of a balanced and healthy lifestyle.
