Be me. Make coffee. Forget you made it. Drink it cold later.

Fuuuuuck I forgot my tea. It's still warm. Thanks

That's how I make tea. Steep it for a few hours. Then throw it out and try again.

I made a delicious 5-hour ginger tea. It nearly burnt my nostrils off.

If you don't mind peppermint it is a great tea to do this with.

Tastes good hot or cold with ice and you can steep it for a long time without it getting bitter.

If you forget it just put it in the fridge when you encounter it later.

I can't second this, fresh my peppermint tea tastes like peppermint, when I let it steep too long it tastes, let's say, leafy and more like spearmint, and leaves a feeling in my mouth like I've chewed on rubber. The freshness is gone, I guess the menthol evaporates. I take two bags, and let it steep for no more than 5 minutes.

I hope my descriptions make sense, taste is hard to describe!

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago

That's fair, I like that spearmint taste and am not sure I've ever noticed that mouth feel.

I guess YMMV

Be me, have a coffee machine that needs 30 minutes to preheat. Forget you preheated it and let it go into energy savings mode. Reheat it and forget it again. Have a headache for half the day because you're feeling the addiction. Take a nap.

i love my aeropress. boil the water, actively make it in a couple minutes, then pour into an insulated mug you can't put in the microwave so when it inevitably sits on your desk for a day you can't put it in the microwave.
