You can make rice water by boiling rice, soaking rice, or fermenting soaked rice water. Which type you pick will depend on how much time you have and how you want to use the rice water.  Boiling your rice will create a concentrated batch of rice water, so it’s stronger. You will need to mix it with clean water when you use it.  Soaking your rice is the simplest method because you have fewer steps and don’t need to attend your rice water while it’s soaking. Because it’s not concentrated, you may run out faster. Fermenting your rice water takes the most time, but the fermentation process brings out more vitamins and nutrients. After rinsing the ½ cup (92.5 g) of rice, you’ll need to put it in a different container. If you are boiling your rice, place it in a lidded pot. Otherwise, place your rice in a clean bowl. You will use more water than you would normally use to make rice so that you will have leftover water once you’re finished cooking the rice. Ignore the directions on your rice packaging. Using those directions, you will not have leftover rice water. While boiling the rice to make rice water takes more effort, the results are more potent, so you can use less of it.  Bring the water to a boil. Pour in your rice, cover the container, and then cook it on medium-low heat for 15-20 minutes. Allow your boiled rice to cool before handling it. Soaking requires less work but the results will be less potent. You will also not need to dilute your rice water if you soak your rice. Be sure to cover the container while the rice is soaking. If you plan to ferment your rice water, soaking the rice is the best way to prepare the rice water before fermentation. Drain the rice water into a separate container. Drain it more than once so that you won't find any rice grains in the water. Your rice water will have a milky-white color. To ferment your rice water, place rice water that you prepared by soaking into a container. Allow your rice water to sit for 1-2 days uncovered. When it begins to smell sour, place it into the refrigerator to stop the fermentation process. Dilute fermented rice water with 1–2 cups (240–470 ml) of clean water because it is very potent. You will need to store your rice water in a sealed container, so choose something like a jar, a food storage container, or a lidded carafe. It will last for up to 1 week if properly stored.
