Fresh-brewed tea can sit at room temperature for up to eight hours if unsweetened. The flavor will begin to "sour" in sweetened tea after about six hours. The "sour" taste which develops is bacteria growth and thus tea that sits too long at room temperature should be avoided. A common practice of restaurants to save money is to refrigerate left-over tea at the end of the day and reuse it the next day. This practice is contrary to health code. If you order tea at a restyaurant and it tastes "sour," it is either old tea or tea stored in a container that has not been properly sanitized.
48 hours in the fridge
That depends on what spoiled the tea and how long it has been sitting at room temperature. Nothing might happen or something could have grown in it that could make you ill.
i would like to know the answer to this question
Lipton's website says 8 hours at room temp. Or if you used boiling water 5 days in fridge, sun tea 3 days in fridge
Yeah any liquid can and as long as it is in a freezing temperature room or container forever!
Sometimes, but it is also good to sit in a steam room.
they equalize and become the same temperature as the surrounding atmosphere and you get tea for the boston tea act reenactmen:0
Bout 10 mins!
The rate that tea cools will change with the temperature difference between the tea and the ambient temperature. The larger the difference between the two, the faster the rate will be. As the tea cools closer to room temp, the rate of cooling will decrease.
The difference at room temperature is not significant.
tea, its hot so its going to melt it faster.
This is impossible to answer because this depends on where you live and where you leave the cup of tea, what temperature the tea is at the beginning.
Keep your tea in a refrigerator for the best result. Freezer will keep your tea fresh too, but may affect your tea more once it's opened and moisture level of leaf changes. Generally green tea is stored at 5°C as opposed to room temperature has higher residual vitamin C content, and especially when air is present.
