Water that has been heated.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Hot water is considered a 'cure-all' for digestive issues and respiratory problems. In high altitudes, hot water is a precious resource due to the cost of firewood or gas. Ayurveda suggests drinking warm water to balance the 'Vata' and 'Kapha' doshas. Offering water is the first step of welcoming a guest; in winter, it is always hot.

Nepali 'Tato Pani' can sometimes be served boiling hot. Always test it before taking a big gulp!
