Does anyone have the recipe for boiled water?
I'm in need of a coffee and cannot get past the first hurdle.
My Mum makes the best boiled water ever but she won't give me her secret recipe.
HELP!

Your mum is so mean! She should pass down such secrets to the next generation or how else will children of the future make coffee?! If you ever find out let me know! My mum is a hopless cook and the secrets of water 100 degrees is beyond her culinary skill....

It really doesn't matter if you watch the pot ... but turn away if it makes you feel better.
Ingredients:
Water!
Method:
1. Choose a pot that's large enough to hold the amount of water you want to boil, and has a lid that fits.
2. Remember that the pot might have to be bigger than you'd think if you're going to add food to the water. Without enough room in the pot, for example, rice or pasta will boil over.
3. Place the pot on a stove burner and pour cold water from a measuring cup into the pot. Or, if you're doing something such as cooking pasta and don't need to measure, just run cold water from the tap into the pot, then place the pot on the burner.
4. Turn the burner to high. Cover the pot.
5. Check for steam escaping from under the lid, then lift the lid carefully to see how the water is doing.
6. Look at the water. If large bubbles are rising from the bottom of the pot to the surface, the water is boiling.
Tips:
You might be tempted to use water that's already warm or hot from the tap, but this water has been sitting in your pipes for some time, getting stale. Use cold water if you're going to drink it or cook with it.
Small bubbles that stay at the bottom or sides of the pot are air bubbles present in the water; they don't necessarily indicate that boiling is imminent. Wait for bubbles that rise to the top of the pot.
Boiling water remains at the same temperature for the entire time it's boiling

yeah right
Listen to Laurens answer. That should be the kind of water for people like you. Perhaps you can just perchase some dehydrated boiled water at the store. It is right near the coffee. If you cannot find it where you live I will set up an ebay account and you can purchase it from me. It is a good deal at only $1.00 per serving size pack. I am sure other people would be willing to sell it to you also. Not just me. I take pay pal.

You don't use boiling water to make coffee as it will burn the coffee. That's why the water in a coffee perculator is never has warm as when you boil the kettle to make it.

Sorry, my recipe book doesn't have this recipe. I would ask my mother-in-law, but she's been known to burn Boiling Water.
LOL

Fill the bath with water, sit in it....and fart - and there you have it, bubbling hot water, just like mumma used to make.
