I guess you've never made iced tea then
Not with salt water
just wait one or two more years.
Then the Boston Tea Party already turned the ocean into tea in 1700's. So how long does it stay that way?
Obligatory XKCD What If: https://what-if.xkcd.com/79/
Oh so no way they dump enough into the ocean. Be cool if we could turn a lake into a strong cup of tea. Question is how much sugar and honey would we need to make it tasty. And last but not least what type of tea?
Zero sweeteners is the right amount of sweetener. I'm partial to Earl Grey personally.
There is water vapor in the air.
Tea leaves exist.
Everything is tea.
Homeopathic tea.
Mmm, saltea.
You joke, but a bit of salt in your tea is delicious
Very British :)
Isn’t throwing tea into the ocean very American?
Only British care :)
Nah, there is an upper limit on how quick the infusion would permeate the same as you can see it permeate in the cup.
You just need to do it proper, like the Boston tea party.
I'm curious what the upper limit is before the tea leaves have released all they were going to release. I routinely male a 500ml flask of tea with a single tea bag. Could I male a litre?
It will reach an equilibrium concentration. Then no more can come out. If you then put it in fresh water, more would come out. Etc.
