So especially during holiday meals-consider drinking a\u00a0few sips\u00a0of mineral\u00a0 water in between your courses this year.<br \/>\nEach mineral water in Italy comes from a different spring and therefore has its&#8217; own characteristic. Some have a harsher taste than others because of their strong mineral content and some taste lighter because of less minerals being present in the water. This will depend on the age of the spring and its&#8217; natural surroundings as well as other factors.<br \/>\nSome of the reasons to practice tasting and appreciating different mineral waters is that you will soon learn to distinguish between their\u00a0characterstics and be able to describe the qualities of specific waters and\u00a0expertly pair the waters with wine and food.<br \/>\nHere\u00a0are the steps of how to conduct a mineral\u00a0 water tasting:<br \/>\nStep 1-Pour<br \/>\nAs soon as bottle is opened, pour into a water glass<br \/>\nStep 2-\u00a0Taste\u00a0<br \/>\n\u00a0Take about 2 tblsps of the water into your mouth. Let it remain on your tongue and then distribute it throughout your mouth. Notice the tastes and feel of the water.<br \/>\nStep 3- Observe<br \/>\nRaise your glass to eye level. Then lower glass to observe it from above.<br \/>\nStep 4- Smell<br \/>\nRaise glass up under your nose, and breathe in deeply.<br \/>\nStep 5- Second taste<br \/>\nOnce again, take a generous sip of the water and let it linger on your tongue.<br \/>\nCheers!!<br \/>\nTanti Auguri!!<br \/>\nCiao for now!<br \/>\nMaria<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marialiberati.com\/\">https:\/\/www.marialiberati.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As mentioned in my last posting- water tasting has become an art unto itself- much like wine tastings.\u00a0 Naturally carbonated waters have a really powerful effect in aiding digestion .&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[41,57,28,55,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-142","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-entertaining","category-features","category-holidays","category-special-occasions","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/marialiberati.com\/freshsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/marialiberati.com\/freshsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/marialiberati.com\/freshsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marialiberati.com\/freshsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marialiberati.com\/freshsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=142"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/marialiberati.com\/freshsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/marialiberati.com\/freshsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=142"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marialiberati.com\/freshsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=142"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marialiberati.com\/freshsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=142"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
