How to make Korean rice water for a glowing skin
👇🏻
Ingredients
Uncooked Rice: Begin with a small cup of uncooked rice.
Water: You'll need approximately 2 cups of water for soaking the rice and extracting the rice water.
Steps
Step 1: Rinse the rice
Take the uncooked rice and rinse it thoroughly under cold running water. This helps remove any impurities or surface contaminants.
Step 2: Soak the rice
Place the rinsed rice in a bowl and add about 2 cups of water. Let the rice soak for 15-30 minutes. During this time, the water will begin to take on a cloudy appearance.
Step 3: Agitate and extract rice water
After the rice has soaked, agitate it by gently rubbing the grains between your fingers. This action helps release the beneficial nutrients into the water. Strain the rice water into a clean bowl, separating it from the rice grains.
Step 4: Fermentation Optional
For enhanced benefits, you can opt for fermentation. Leave the strained rice water at room temperature for 24-48 hours. Fermentation increases the nutrient content and makes the rice water more potent.
Step 5: Storage
Once fermented (if you choose this option), store the rice water in a clean, airtight container or any spray bottle in the refrigerator. The cold temperature not only preserves its freshness but also provides a refreshing sensation when applied to the skin.
