Boiling water or warm water for mustard

Use warm water for mustard.

It is better to use lukewarm water for mustard, as the direct use of hot water may cause the mustard enzyme component to deteriorate and affect the aroma of the mustard. You can choose to splash the mustard with lukewarm or cool water, or soak the mustard container in boiling water and leave it to cool. This will preserve the pungent flavor and aroma of the mustard.
