It is unclear to me that there is any way to drink tea than other than piping hot.
I have heard horror stories that suggest people have attempted to drink cold tea but I figure such tales are merely intended to provoke disgust.
- qzw 3y agoCold tea does indeed provoke disgust. Iced tea, on the other hand, is quite its own art form.
- russh 3y agoAs a programmer, every hot drink is only hot for the first few sips; all others range from lukewarm to room temperature.
- senectus1 3y agograb yourself one of these: https://www.nespresso.com/au/en/order/accessories/original/touch-travel-mug-coffee-cup https://www.nespresso.com/au/en/order/accessories/original/t... This has been the most successful keep hot mug I've ever bought (and I've bought a lot). This thing can keep a hot drink hot for a looooong time.
- smitty1e 3y agoIndeed, iced tea is all over the U.S. South, where they put in enough sugar to blow out other organs, but at least the liver is saved.
- reducesuffering 3y agoCopious amounts of high fructose corn syrup will assuredly also blow out your liver.
- smitty1e 3y agoAnd probably sooner.
- tom_ 3y agoI've always found tea acceptable at a wide range of temperatures. Room temperature to boiling, it's all good, same as water. (But not same as red wine or beer, the other 2 types of liquid I will drink.) I do admit this rule does very much not apply when mixing tea with milk!
- mock-possum 3y agoCold tea infusion my boy - a nice strong ice tea on a hot summer day is one of life’s little pleasures. Splash of lemonade optional. Sugar very much optional.
- brookst 3y agoSugar is optional in tea the way screaming is optional in a library.
- xtracto 3y agoI love my morning infusion of green tea with stevia leaves. I take the first cup hot and then prepare a 2 litter jug with "cold infusion" and ice for the rest if the day . Some people loathe the flavour of stevia leaf, but I am completely used to it by now.
- brookst 3y agoI guess.. why? Do you dislike green tea by itself? I love iced teas, and for me any sweetness detracts. To each their own, it’s just so foreign I can’t imagine.
