Tea water thermocontrol Tevand termokontrol

Some teas are best brewed with water of a certain temperature. Like green tea, which the recommendation is to brew with water that is 75-80°C. But not everyone has an electrical kettle with temperature control, or want the bother of having one. That is fine, they can use this method instead.

Nogle teer brygges bedst ved bestemte temperaturer. Eksempelvis grøn te, som anbefalingen er at man brygger med 75-80°C varmt vand. Men ikke alle har en elkedel med temperaturkontrol, eller gider bøvlet med at have en. Det er helt fint, de kan bruge denne metode istedet.

  1. Add the tea to your teapot. It can be in a bag, if that is what you prefer.
  2. Add a measured amount of cold tap water.
  3. Fill up with freshly boiled water from your electrical kettle.
  4. Let steep.
  1. Kom teen i din tekande. Den kan være i en pose, hvis det er hvad du synes bedst om.
  2. Tilføj en afmålt mængde vand fra den kolde hane.
  3. Fyld op med friskkogt vand fra din elkedel.
  4. Lad trække.

For this method to work, it requires that:

For at metoden virker, kræver det at:

Here are the measurements that applies to brewing green tea in my setup. You can change the values to fit your setup (or you can be lazy and just guess what they are).

Her er de målinger der passer på brygning af grøn te i min situation. Du kan ændre værdierne så de passer på din situation (eller du kan være doven og bare gætte hvad de er).

To calculate the amount of cold water by hand, you start by determining what values the four parameters have.
tc: temperature of cold water
th: temperature of hot water
v: volume of tea water
tt: target temperature of tea water

For at regne rumfanget af koldt vand ud i hånden, starter man med at finde ud af hvilke værdier de fire parametre skal have.
tc: det kolde vands temperatur
th: det kogte vands temperatur
v: tevandets rumfang
tt: tevandets måltemperatur

Then you plug them into this formula, and do the calculation:

Derefter sætter man dem ind i denne formel og regner ud:

vc = v·(th - tt) / (th - tc)


The formula is derived this way...

Formlen udledes sådan her...

The temperature of the tea water is: tt = (vc·tc + vh·th) / v , where vh is the volume of hot water

Tevandets temperatur er: tt = (vc·tc + vh·th) / v , hvor vh er det kogte vands rumfang

Getting rid of vh gives: tt = (vc·tc + (v - vc)·th) / v

Udtrykt uden vh er det: tt = (vc·tc + (v - vc)·th) / v

Simplifying gives: tt = (v·th - vc·(th - tc)) / v

Simplificering giver: tt = (v·th - vc·(th - tc)) / v

Isolating vc gives: vc = v·(th - tt) / (th - tc) QED

Isolering af vc giver: vc = v·(th - tt) / (th - tc) QED
