Water at a comfortable temperature.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Drinking warm water in the morning is a common health practice believed to aid digestion. The 'Pirtis' (sauna) culture involves using warm water for 'vanta' (birch whisk) soaking. Annual hot water shut-offs in cities are a common topic of summer conversation. Traditional herbal teas are always made with hot, but often cooled to 'warm', water for children.
The Genitive Rule
Always remember that 'reikia' (need) and 'noriu' (want) take the genitive 'šilto vandens'.
Not for Tea
If you ask for 'šiltas vanduo' for tea, you will get water that is too cold to steep the leaves.
