In Jain practice, garam/ubla hua paani is best used freshly prepared and within a few hours, while it is still clean and suitable to drink. If it is kept for too long, it should be boiled again before use.

For Jain purity and ahimsa, the common practice is:

• Make small quantity
• Use it fresh
• Do not keep it for the whole day without reboiling

If it has become stale, cooled too much, or may have been contaminated, do not use it directly.
