Very hot tea is now linked to cancer of the throat. Scientists have
conclusively proved it makes sense to leave freshly brewed black tea
for 4 minutes so that it doesn't scald. Apparently, there are
populations who would pour boiling water on the leaves in their
mouths, given the chance - most living in Northern Iran. It would be
a good idea, say the scientists, to let them know the risks involved.
The gist is to let it cool to about 65 degrees - now who would have
thought of that! They'll have us putting milk in it next.
