reboiled
Heated twice over
Reboiled describes something that has been boiled again, typically a liquid that was allowed to cool before being heated back to boiling.
The term appears most often with water, as in debates about whether reboiled water affects the taste of tea or coffee.
More broadly, it can apply to any substance subjected to a second round of boiling, whether for sterilization, cooking, or processing purposes.
