what to do when your tea is cold?
I LOVE making tea… but sometimes I forget that the cup is there. When your tea goes cold… can you reheat it in the microwave? Does it change the flavor?
About half the time I drink it at room temperature because for some tea, especially some flavoured tea, that is when all the flavours pop. I assume those would be the ones that would be good iced, but I don’t like iced tea. The other half of the time I put it in the microwave for a minute.
Depending on how strong the tea was, and how much is still in the cup, I will sometimes add more hot water.
If the tea leaves are no longer there I see no reason for it to change flavor unless you boil it, because then you will decrease the water available.
I keep drinking it. Most of the teas that become staples/ones I restock are ones I am willing to drink at any temp.
Some teas I actually prefer at room temperature. If it’s not one of those, a 30 second zap in the microwave doesn’t hurt, in my opinion.
