    What is this Celsius bullshit?

    It is how the civilised world measures temperature.

    *throws more tea in to the ocean*

    Typical American not knowing hot to make tea. You pour boiling water on to the bag.

    Honestly.

    Why the Fuck would you burn tea like that?

    You generally want just below full boilling water for tea, otherwise you burn it and ruin the flavor.

    you cannot burn something with water

    you can scald it, maybe

    but you cannot burn it

    What if the water is on fire

    There's an episode of "Fireman Sam" Henry likes to watch. A bunch of swimming pool toys catch on fire in the pool. They call the fire department instead of just flipping them over.

    I wonder how much a $5 bet would pay out if you bet on all the NFL games for a week (15) and actually got them all right on a 15-leg bet

    I know it's a dumb answer, but it really depends on the odds. Betting on a 4/1 instead of an 11/10 can really shoot up the acca.

    I just did up a 15 leg premier league/la liga acca of just favourites and it came in at 12423/1. Changing one bet from 1/3 to 7/1 caused it to shoot up to 74547/1.

    No.

    From what I've read, while it's not true that boiling water "burns" tea, it seems the hotter the water the more the bolder/bitter flavors come out whereas the further away you move from boiling the more delicate/sweeter the flavor


    So

    as usual both of you are "wrong" and I am right

    Drinking tea is wrong, so all three of you are wrong.

    There's no right way to make tea.

    If by drink tea you mean sweet tea then yes I do, otherwise no.

    And sweet tea isn't about steeping at the right temperature. It's about adding the correct amount of sugar. Preferably right before it being a substitute for pancake syrup

    I bought a 100 count box of Lipton tea bags like 2+ years ago. I used one bag in all that time. And it was when I was so sick it hurt to cough or breathe. And it was mostly used as a vehicle for delivering lemon extract and honey into my throat.

    No.

    I more meant a full rolling boil, like 200°F is make the kettle whistle boiling, I've not seen a tea that wants that temp.

    Kinda like French press doesnt want anything too far over 190° or else you ruin the coffee. One of my personal theories as to why American mass produced drip coffee (like Starbucks and stuff) is terrible is because they are required, by health code, to use 210°F water which on its own ruins the coffee (not to mention they just burn the shit out of their beans to enforce uniformity of the roast over inconsistently sourced beans).

    Same deal with most tea. Though refreshing my memory it turns out black tea is sitting at 208°F to 212°F so I guess for the bag it will do. I normally drink lighter teas so mine are always sitting at like 175°F

    All this talk about scalding (technically burning as scalding is just water based burning) tea when the best way to make it is to throw 20 cheap tea bags in water and set it on your porch for many hours on a warm spring/summer day.

    I never knew about sweet tea until I moved to South-Lite.

    okay

    Anyway, this isn't correct either. "Burn" is an appropriate word in this context. Here's one example:

    https://whatscookingamerica.net/EllenEaston/BrewPerfectTea.htm
    Water Temperature Guideline for Brewing Tea:

    Remember good tea begins with good water.

    The temperature of the water does not have to be exact to brew a good cup of tea. Do not use boiling water for green or white teas, as the leaves will burn, creating a bitter taste.

    I scatter tea bags across my lawn at midnight and then, in the morning, I use a magnifying glass to focus the sun's rays upon the dew that formed that morning, until it boils the tea into the soft, wet lawn. I then, after many hours of sun-focusing, I dig through my lawn, and drink handfuls of tea-infused dirt topped with milk and whipped cream. I call it Early Graaaay.
