 How to Make Rice Water (2 Easy Methods)
1. Simple Soaking Method – Best for Skin Care
Ingredients
- 1 cup rice (white, jasmine, or basmati)
- 2–3 cups clean water
Instructions
- Rinse the rice thoroughly to remove dust and impurities.
- Add the rice to a bowl with clean water.
- Let it soak for 30 minutes.
- Strain the liquid into a clean container.
Your rice water is now ready to use.
2. Fermented Rice Water – Best for Hair Care
Instructions
- Prepare rice water using the soaking method above.
- Leave the strained rice water in a clean jar at room temperature for 24–48 hours.
- Once it develops a slightly sour smell, fermentation has occurred.
- Store it in the refrigerator.
Usage
Because fermented rice water is stronger, dilute it with an equal amount of clean water (1:1 ratio) before applying it to the hair or skin.
 Storage Tips
- Always store rice water in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Use within 5–7 days after preparation.
- Shake before each use, as nutrients may settle at the bottom.
