Night bottle feeds

How long in advance can I prepare boiled water in advance to make up night time bottles.

I use a perfect prep during the day but I'm trying to avoid having to go down to the kitchen for every feed.

I'm thinking of taking two bottles of water up to bed with me with premeasured powder. Will that work?

The powder has to be mixed with water above a certain temperature (I believe about 70 degrees but could be wrong) in order to kill the bacteria in the powder.

ive always gone to bed with boiled water in the bottle and filled up a flask with boiling water. when LO wakes i pour the water from the flask into a jug and heat untill bottle feels warm enough then add the powder.
