How to Make Korean Rice Water

1. Start by selecting high-quality rice. Any type of rice will work, but many prefer to use white rice for its higher starch content.
2. Place 1/2 to 1 cup of rice in a bowl and rinse it thoroughly (at least 5 times) to remove any dirt, debris, or impurities.
3. Transfer the rinsed rice to a clean bowl and add 2-3 cups of water.
4. Let the rice soak for about 30 minutes to 2 hours. This allows the nutrients from the rice to seep into the water.
5. After soaking, swirl the rice around in the water with your hands to release more of its nutrients.
6. Then, strain the rice water into a separate container, discarding the rice.
7. Leave the strained rice water at room temperature for 12 to 24 hours to ferment. Fermentation helps to increase the concentration of antioxidants and amino acids, making it even more beneficial for your hair. Though, this step is optional but the process can enhance the benefits of rice water.
8. Before use, dilute the rice water with an equal amount of plain water to reduce its potency, especially if you have sensitive skin or scalp (optional).
