Boiled and Cooled Water
शृतशीतजलम्
Shrita Sheeta Jala (water that has been boiled and then cooled) combines the benefits of boiling (purification, lightness) with cold potency. It is Tridosha-shamaka (balances all three doshas). However, such water should not be kept for more than one day (24 hours), as it becomes heavy, stale, and can vitiate all three doshas if stored too long. Freshly boiled and cooled water is considered ideal for regular drinking.
