boiled water

Heat-treated H2O

Water that has been heated to its boiling point, typically to kill pathogens or prepare it for cooking.

A boil water advisory warns residents to boil tap water before drinking.

In many contexts, boiled water simply means water hot enough to make tea or cook pasta: Add the noodles to the boiled water.
