Y’all trying to come up with ways to cool it while I’m using my 5 temperature setting electric kettle to get the water hot enough to steep tea, but not boil.
I bought a kettle with a temperature selector. I have one degree of precision. Which is often overkill. It’s surprisingly useful to be able to heat water at non scalding temps. Especially for cleaning tasks, actually.
My parents have a kettle that’ll let you set the desired water temperature to extract degree. I don’t think they realise some teas need something other than boiling water, but hey it’s nifty to see those things around. Definitely beats making tea with a thermometer or calculating the cold/hot water mix to get the temperature right.

But can you play snake on your kettle

Also good for not ruining (even cheap) tea.
Matcha 70C, green 80, I do my coffee at 85C.
That sounds luxurious. Do you love it?
Yes, and it wasn’t very expensive.

Even the lowest steeping temperature is too hot to drink IMO. And with black tea you should be steeping it at almost boiling.
