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.
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.
Typically, brewed tea that is left out at room temperature is safe to drink for about 8 hours. After this time, the tea may start to develop bacteria and other contaminants that can make it unsafe to consume. It's always best to refrigerate any leftover tea to extend its shelf life.
they equalize and become the same temperature as the surrounding atmosphere and you get tea for the boston tea act reenactmen:0
Tea will generally melt faster than water at room temperature due to the additional substances present in tea, such as dissolved solids, which lower its freezing point. Additionally, the temperature of the room may not fall low enough for either water or tea to actually freeze, so melting may not be the correct term to use in this context.
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.
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.
