There’s a rather persistent idea that “reboiling” water (i.e. boiling water two or more times and allowing it to cool in-between) while making a cup of tea is potentially harmful to your health, with some going so far as stating that regularly doing this even drastically increases your chances of getting cancer. The general reasoning behind why this is purportedly the case goes something like this:

actually there is a very good explanation why you shouldn't boil water twice and it's the same reason you should only drink tap water after you let 1 L run through before drinking it. it's about the heavy metals in the water. this is very serious. I have just recently seen test results from tap water and the longer water sits in a metal enclosure the more metals it contains. for a tap it was very simple after turning on the tap the first water coming out has incredibly high concentrations of heavy metals and is not safe to drink, that contamination then decreases exponentially and after the first liter had passed the concentration was low and safe to drink. makes absolute sense to me that boiling water in a metal container and especially boiling water twice increases the problem. also in many parts of the word the mineral concentration in the water is very high and hard water leads to galvanic corrosion which only increases the high metal concentration. most of europe has incredible high mineral concentrations. another consideration is that many people use cheap water boilers made of plastic. most water boilers you can buy have a plastic water container. only the more expensive ones use metal. but the plastic has it's own problems. when you boil water in plastic is gets contaminated with all sorts of unhealthy stuff like BPA. all in all I would never boil water twice. turn on the tap, let 1 L run through and boil the fresh water in a metal water boiler or pot. that reduces most of these problems down to a manageable safe level.

@@Boomchacle would you look up the different definitions of what heavy metals are please.. the most useful definition is every metal over 5g/cm³ is called heavy metal which includes the steel you mentioned. especially aluminium is not safe to consume even though it doesn't count as a heavy metal. also you don't seem to know that most pots and kettles and taps are made of alloys and they all include a huge variety of different metals or do you think stainless steel is just iron and carbon? also I don't think there are glass boilers or pots. that would be new.

actually there is a very good explanation why you shouldn't boil water twice and it's the same reason you should only drink tap water after you let 1 L run through before drinking it. it's about the heavy metals in the water. this is very serious. I have just recently seen test results from tap water and the longer water sits in a metal enclosure the more metals it contains. for a tap it was very simple after turning on the tap the first water coming out has incredibly high concentrations of heavy metals and is not safe to drink, that contamination the decreases exponentially and after the first liter had passed the concentration was low and safe to drink. makes absolute sense to me that boiling water in a metal container and especially boiling water twice creases the problem. also in many parts of the word the mineral concentration in the water is very high and hard water leads to galvanic corrosion which only increases the high metal concentration. most of europe has incredible high mineral concentrations. americans don't even understand the problem since they have very soft water. another consideration is that many people use cheap water boilers made of plastic. most water boilers you can buy have a plastic water container. only the more expensive ones use metal. but the plastic has it's own problems. when you boil water in plastic is gets contaminated with all sorts of unhealthy stuff like BPA. all in all I would never boil water twice. turn on the tap, let 1 L run through and boil the fresh water in a metal water boiler or pot. that reduces most of these problems down to a manageable safe level.

It's worth noting that leaving water in the kettle, even if you pour it out before reheating, can sometimes make your kettle rust out faster. Better to keep it dry when it's not being used. /I once saw an episode of some show... a half hour on how to make toast. It was actually brilliant. Did you know that if you use a toaster oven when you pull the door open and it gently sticks at one location partially opened... that's a design feature? There are all sorts of toast... that toast that is crispy on the edge but soft in the middle, but there is also a much crispier, but not burned toast that is more like a cracker. It's really yummy. To make it you leave the door partially open. It lets the moist steam out and the bread ends up much crisper.

I used to work with a bloke who would make his tea, in the mess room, which was a bit of a distance from where he drank it at his work station. He always boiled the water for longer, he said, because he didn't want it to be cold when he returned to where he worked. In short, he thought that the water would get hotter the longer he "cooked" it for. The worrying thing was, he worked in a power station!

This is a really interesting topic. Even Douglas Adamshimself weighed in on it. I was quite puzzled to read that one shouldn't reboil water on the instructions inside a box of Dilmah. I did some asking around, and apparently this is due to the levels of minerals in some water sources (especially in North West England) and having to descale ones kettle. In Australia, this isn't an issue. One more thing regarding milk and tea. The milk goes in last. My experience which was also confirmed by an Antarctic explorer, is that the tea doesn't solute as well in a milk and water mix, as opposed to just water. I presume this is a fat vversus water soluble issue. It's easily verifiable however, a tea with milk first is very weak and has little flavour. Apparently this is incredibly disappointing when sitting inside a tent during a blizzard in the Antarctic.

There is certainly a taste difference based on container in which the water was boiled in or even drank from. Is why I use only ceramic or glass. I also notice a difference in taste of water left in sunlight for long periods of time (sealed container) vs water that is not (probably again due to the container) this is why the lead wine containers were popular.

Is it safe to drink electronically re-boiled distilled water over the course of a couple days kept in the same kettle (made out of non-reactive metal to water)?

What if you never let your kettle run empty and never empty it? If the inside of the kettle has never been dry since the day you bought it, is that fine?

Question, what's more important, boiling or temperature. Because water can boil at lower temperature under less atmospheric pressure, and at room temperature in a vacuum. So I'm wondering which is the key item, to boil, or to heat to a certain temperature.

Well, I never heard about twice or more boiled water being bad in my entire life. I did learn in the Boy Scouts how to purify water without chemicals in I think what? Like 5-6 different ways? Maybe more? The common thing they shared save for I think one was you'd boil the water for at least 10 minutes, 15-20 minutes preferred if you have the time. Boil time was the important part of boiling, not how many times it's boiled. Of course, multiple boilings isn't advisable in such scenarios, because presumably you're expending time and energy to gather fuel for your fire, and multiple boilings can be wasteful fuel-efficiency-wise. We even learned how having a clear plastic garbage bag can save your life if you find a healthy tree with leaves. You put the bag over one of the branches (branches inside bag), tie it closed, and wait (sun must be out). The tree "breathes" out water vapor, which is then condensed and collected by the bag. After a while, you can have as much as a canteen of water pooled in the bag, and it's already safe to drink. You can't keep doing this to the same branch, or you'll kill the branch. Cool, eh?

I usually boil the kettle 3 times when making green tea, it seems to infuse better when I do and has a more even taste.

The one I kept hearing for a while was that reboiling the water removes the oxygen atoms (probably because of the bubbles), so it turns out you can make deuterium in your kettle.

I drank twice boiled water cold in a glass and it tasted like metal, I was very surprised because I never noticed this taste in my tea. I use a stainless steel /Inox pan combined with source water from a bottle and after that I kind of wondered if it was actually good for me haha.
