Question:

What does heating your water have effect on tea?

1.If you boil water what different is it from heating it in a microave
2.What affect on making water hot on tea
3. cant people just put the tea bag in cold water and drink it or is i big different from hot tea water drink


Answers:
it's about how the tea steeps. the molecules in hot water travel very fast, going in and out of the tea bag very quickly which turns the water into tea... while cold water does the opposite, not getting very much flavor or nutrients from the tea due to slow-moving molecules. to test this out, get a glass of hot water and a glass of cold water and put a drop of food coloring in each at the same time... see which one's molecules spread the color around faster.
and i would definitely suggest boiling over the microwave... because the hotter the water, the better.
