Boiled Water.

SERVES ONE.

Ingredients:

Cold Water

Preperation:

Some people swear that this recipe tastes best from the kettle, though I argue that in this instance a microwave will do just fine. Really it is up to you and your tastebuds!


Method One: (MICROWAVE:)

Fill some kind of heat resistant container (I find a mug is normally best) with ALL of the cold water.

Set the microwave on HIGH power for two and a half minutes.

Start the microwave.

You will know when it is ready to serve because the cold water will now be boiling.


Method Two: (JUG or KETTLE - either way works fine)

Fill up the jug with enough water to cover the elements (you will know how much this is by looking into the jug as you fill it, though more modern kettles often have an level indicator visible from the exterior).

Note! When preparing your boiling water using in the jug, don't be afraid to fill the jug with more cold water than you actually need for one serving - it keeps very well, even unrefrigerated.

Turn the jug on (you may have to consult the user manual for instructions specific to the make and model you own).

Wait until the jug switches itself off (most makes and models produced after 1972 will do this, otherwise be look for the common signs of boiling, such as steam and/or bubbles, before manually powering down the appliance.)

Serve in a heat resistant container (as with the microwave version, I think a mug works best).

Enjoy!!!

* If you live life on the move, try substituting hot water for the cold water listed in the ingredients. A slow cook is always preferable, though those busy days are often unavoidable!!!

** For an Eastern spin, try adding a Tea Bag after cooking.
