because thats the whole idea - why do we boil the kettle first then ? Have u ever tried to drink coffee or tea with a skin on it !
Thats why we say ` get the kettle on !` if you wanna drink it cold buy iced tea or coffee

Sipping causes surface cooling of the liquid - by drawing air across the surface using the lips the liquid is locally cooled allowing you to intake a small amount of the liquid - sometimes this becomes a slurp rather than a sip!

Its a bad habit and very bad for you. There is a remote tribe of Indians in South America who sip hot liquids as is their custom from small shallow cups. They have the highest incidence of throat cancer ever. It is because the hot liquids damage the cells of the mucous membrane lining the throat. Wait til it is cool enough to drink comfortably!

Because they are thirsty and can't wait for it to cool down. Also people can take the heat more than others, after a while you mouth becomes covered in asbestos!!!

Tea tastes best when just cooled down enough to drink it witout brning your mouth..... you have to keep sipping it to check the temp, you dont want it to get too cool.

The old asbestos mouth syndrome! I don't know how people do it, but I've seen people I work with virtually drink out of the kettle.

I have a friend who drinks hot water! She says it warms her up. But, again...she's so skinny she's always needing to warm up, even in the summer time.

I do it because it brings my mouth up to the tempature where I can handle it and drink it. The hotter your coffee the better it tastes.

It helps with colds. It makes you feel warmer. Some people cant wait for it to cool down. Some people like to burn there tongues. Hey people even like to sue companies for burning themselfs.
