How to Make Rice Water (3 Easy Methods)
1. Soaked Rice Water (Gentlest)
Rinse ½ cup rice.
Soak in 2–3 cups water for 30–60 minutes.
Strain; use immediately or refrigerate (up to 3 days).
2. Boiled Rice Water (Most Concentrated)
Cook rice as usual.
Strain and cool the leftover water.
Store in fridge up to 3 days.
3. Fermented Rice Water (Most Potent)
Prepare soaked rice water.
Leave at room temp for 12–24 hours (it will smell slightly sour).
Refrigerate and use within 1 week.
Dilute 1:1 with water before use—fermentation increases potency.
