Two Easy Ways to Chill a Hot Drink Quickly
I hate waiting for hot drinks to cool down before I can drink them. If you feel the same way, here are two simple methods to quickly chill your tea or coffee so that you can enjoy it somewhere in this century.
The first, from redditor glb950 , involves using a metal stirring spoon as a radiator for your drink. Leave the spoon in the drink so it can absorb the heat, then take it out to cool down and dip it back in. Repeat the process and your drink will quickly cool to a reasonable temperature.
You can also pour your hot drink into and out of another cup, says Redditor editor Dahlberg123 . Take another mug at home and pour the drink back and forth several times for more evaporation and heat dissipation. This is similar to the saucer method , but the likelihood of clutter is less. Of course, this also takes a little longer, so there is a slight trade-off.
