There is water vapor in the air.
Tea leaves exist.
Everything is tea.

Am I tea?
Possibly, have you ever told someone to try unplugging it and then plugging it back it in?
Then the Boston Tea Party already turned the ocean into tea in 1700's. So how long does it stay that way?
Obligatory XKCD What If: https://what-if.xkcd.com/79/
Oh so no way they dump enough into the ocean. Be cool if we could turn a lake into a strong cup of tea. Question is how much sugar and honey would we need to make it tasty. And last but not least what type of tea?
Zero sweeteners is the right amount of sweetener. I'm partial to Earl Grey personally.
Homeopathic tea.
Mmm, saltea.
You joke, but a bit of salt in your tea is delicious
This doesn't work. The water has to be boiling
just wait one or two more years.
I guess you've never made iced tea then
Not with salt water
You're definitely making tea wrong if you're putting the tea in boiling water.
Am I? Enlighten me!
It gets bitter if you use water that's too hot. For black tea you'll want to bring it to a boil, then take it off the heat and you can pretty much immediately add the tea then. For green tea you want it quite a bit cooler than that, and so forth.
That's basically what I do. I use a water boiler and put the boiling water into a cup or can with tea bag or more often tea strainer. Sorry if I was implying anything other than that
Oh, I was just trying to be silly by taking you too literally :)
It was silly of you to think you can "just be silly". This is a very serious community for all I know
Listen, if I'm using years old mass market black tea, scalding it is hardly going to make a difference. It's like saying your fucking up freeze dried coffee because your water is too hot.
I shudder at the thought of freeze dried coffee being even more fuckef up than it already is.
It's sun tea.
Very British :)
Isnβt throwing tea into the ocean very American?
Only British care :)

Nah, there is an upper limit on how quick the infusion would permeate the same as you can see it permeate in the cup.
You just need to do it proper, like the Boston tea party.
I'm curious what the upper limit is before the tea leaves have released all they were going to release. I routinely male a 500ml flask of tea with a single tea bag. Could I male a litre?
It will reach an equilibrium concentration. Then no more can come out. If you then put it in fresh water, more would come out. Etc.
