Can I cook rice directly with tap water?

　　Cook rice directly with tap water

　　Rice is one of the traditional staple foods. Many people like to cook rice directly with tap water. In fact, this method is not good.

　　Unboiled tap water contains a lot of chlorine. During the cooking process, the chlorine in the water will destroy the vitamin B1 in the rice, greatly reducing the nutritional mechanism of the rice. If you use boiled water to cook rice, the loss of vitamin B1 can be reduced because the chlorine has evaporated with the steam.

　　Cooking rice with tea can make the rice good in color, aroma and nutrition. It also has the benefits of removing greasiness, clearing the mouth and aiding digestion. The method is very simple, just replace the cooking water with brewed tea, but remember to use green tea, and don't use too much tea, otherwise the taste of the tea will overwhelm the aroma of the rice itself, which will be counterproductive.
