Hot beverages take irritatingly long to cool to a drinkable temperature after brewing.

I usually get very impatient and just throw some ice cubes in it to get it down to a hot but drinkable temperature.

You're absolutely right. Good catch. This is clearly an 'Oh. Tea' related trap. I suggest we derail this claim comment thread towards bananas as quickly as possible.

I don't agree with this claim. In my experience this only happens when you have a very limited amount of time available to drink said beverage.

For example, the drink before departing for work.... when you get to work the cup you make then cools almost immediately.

Boy George used to stir tea with his member. Anyone remember that?

I'm sure that would do serious damage to the batteries.
