The water heater in my house can be set all the way to 85c and it’s right behind my kitchen tap, so it gets to that temperature within seconds. I’ve been wondering for a while if I could use it to just make tea instantly instead of putting the kettle on first, especially since I’ve read multiple times that 100c water is actually bad cause it can burn the tea leaves.
So far I haven’t been able to try it because of some circumstances, but I might in the future.
Pretty sure your not supposed to drink the tap water at all in a lot of places. I know my city sends a letter multiple times every year saying not to drink the tap water. Cookings fine thiugh :/
Hot water dissolves lead more quickly than cold water and is therefore more likely to contain greater amounts of lead. Never use water from the hot water tap for drinking, cooking, or making baby formula.

In the US there is sometimes sludge at the bottom of the water heater that collects. You shouldn’t drink hot tap water in the US.

Apparently, don’t cook with it either:

It’s not just the lead, it’s heavy metals in general.
I just looked it up for my country and you’re right. They don’t recommend regularly drinking the hot water. There goes my experiment lol
That’s really gross what the hell
