Would this even work? Lol
Wouldn’t the plastic straw melt in the hot tea? Maybe need metal or silicone straw adapter hooked onto plastic straw in heat exchanger 🤔
The melting point of plastic is 300+ degrees Fahrenheit. Even if you tried to drink tea that was still boiling in the cup you’d damage your mouth pretty good but the plastic straw wouldn’t melt.
Oh dear this had me I stitches. Can’t explain it. It tickled me just right.
It has “that breast implant is an animal” vibes.
Don’t think most plastic straws would melt, but they would probably soften and might infuse more chemicals into your beverage than it would if it were cold. At this point I’d just go for the obvious solution of repurposing an old heat exchanger from an AC unit or something. The strange taste will go away after a few times (probably).
Personally I would use my knowledge in aerodynamics by blowing on the tea before sipping
I love plastic straw in hot tea!
but am patient
Hmmm microplastics soup
Now run your straw through a concentric larger straw and pump -30C glycol through the annulus. You can get your 96C tea down to 54C in seconds! Think of the efficiencies gained!!
