                                According to chemical principles, the solubility of caffeine alone is 33 times greater in pure boiling water compared to room temperature water, providing a powerful indicator for why tea does not work in cold water effectively. The simple difference in temperature dramatically alters the entire steeping process and the final flavor profile of your drink.
