How can I leave tea in a hydroflask to drink before I should dump it out?
Thank you ^__^

From a food safety standpoint, the answer is two hours after it drops below 140F (60C) in temperature. Since I use my hydroflask to bring hot water with me when I drink tea out, I've measured how quickly it loses heat, but you'd probably want to do your own measurements.

Care to share those measurements?

Honestly, this is going to vary so widely based on the brand of flask (mine isn’t an actual Hydroflask brand), size, temperature you start with, and probably even the ambient temperature, so I’d recommend you do the measurements yourself because my measurements won’t really mean anything for your flask.

10 hrs 17 min 23 seconds, precisely. Not a second longer.
Ah I see you are of the 10 hrs 17 min 23 seconds camp. Personally I fall in the 10 hrs 17 min 19 seconds camp. The water temp is just to low for a perfect brew any longer after that.
I completely understand why you feel that way, I used to feel that way too! But I think that you’ll find, with more experience, you can squeeze those extra 4 seconds out. It’s just a matter of practice and focusing on the task!
