It is not advisable to drink hot
water from the tap since it picks up
all kinds of things from the pipe.
Someone who knows exactly about
hot tap water might add
to this thought

The best, safest, way to do it is to
measure an amount into a pot and boil
it. I stop when the bubbles start to
rise from the bottom of the pot. Then
add an equal amount of water to the
boiled water. I then pour it into a large
16 oz glass and let it cool for about
1/2 hour. I find it too hot to drink it
right away.

I don't always wait for a long period
after drinking the water before eating.
I sometimes make yin-yang water during
the day as well as in the morning.
Since Chunyi Lin sometimes adds
honey to his, I assume eating right after
is not a problem. He also says you can make
tea with the water.

Maybe someone else can chime in on this
as I might be doing it wrong myself. But
drinking hot water from the tap can be
dangerous.
