"Oh, so Oolong Orange Tea brews best at 136.7°C for exactly 28.3 seconds of steep time, so I heat my water to exactly that and pour"

Ok, cool. As soon as you pour you're losing heat to the cup, so you aren't actually brewing at the optimum temperature anymore, so stop faffing about with this bullshit.

Probably got three people in the entire former British Empire that do it correctly with the temp loss of everything accounted for, one of them likes to murder people the third Sunday of every 17th month but only when the moon is full and covered by clouds, the second one is batshit insane, and the last one is rich enough to be able to do that.

136.7C usually means it’s no longer water, but steam, but if you wanna steam your teabags that’s your prerogative

Steamy teabags, there’s your band name

I'm sorry but you saying that microwaved water can't make good tea sounds like when @fly says that French presses can't make good coffee because Cocks Illustrated Magazine told him that you can't have good coffee unless the water is maintained at 105°C the whole brew time.

I don't think I've ever said that a french press can't make good coffee. Indeed it can.

Well to be fair you don't brew tea in the cup.

Also isn't 137C water called steam?

Fuck's sake. We covered this.

Also, no, not necessarily. If we are being pedantic, it depends on the pressure as well as the temp.

Your stupid post let me reply before I saw the new ones.

Also assuming sea level conditions is pretty fair.

Also I just looked up oolong, you aren't far off, it should be steeped in small batches with just off boiling water.
 
Couple weeks ago I made sugar syrup with a bunch of chai tea thrown in. Strained it by pushing it through my aeropress, threw in some vanilla put it in a squirt bottle. Glass of milk + squirt of that + couple of ice cubes = fuck yeah

Figure if I'm gonna tea wrong, might as well do it in spectacular fashion.

We flew to California this weekend for a wedding. Since we were just taking carry ons, I squirted a little hair gel in a ziploc (it’s white). We get there and I’m trying to get ready. I pull out my hair gel and it is super soft, not sticky at all. Not holding my hair up or anything. Hairspray is barely even helping and I buy extreme hold.

We go buy a new container of gel since I have no idea why putting some in a bag would compromise it so much.

Then we get home and I’m cleaning out my bag. At that point I find a second bag filled with white stuff that is still stiff and sticky and realize I also packed a little face lotion.

Oh yes, I tried to make my hair stick up with face lotion.

I gave up on hair gel decades ago, and just use the same conditioner from the shower as light hold hair gel.

Works great. Figure if leave-in-conditioner is a thing, that should be fine too.

But im also not an antelope.
