So, you want to brew tea... but you don't have a thermometer?
NO PROBLEM!
We know that water boils at 212F or 100C and room temperature is (on average) 72F or 22C...
Using these two numbers, some room temperature water and a known measure we can accurately gauge our steeping water's temperature!
Note: If you are forced to use cold tap water, it is generally around 50F in winter and a bit warmer during summer months.
