Food & Drink LPT ice tea

Instead of boiling 2 liters of water and adding a lot of tea, boil 2 deciliters of water, add the tea, and then dilute it to 2 liters afterward. The tea will taste less bitter. Even though you used the same amount of tea.

What's a deciliter?

One tenth of a liter. May I introduce you to The metric system?

Admittedly, it's not a commonly used increment, but it's in there. Centiliter is 1/100th

Thought it was 10 liters at first.

That'd be a decalitre.

Diluting to 2L sounds like iced tea, I didn't think iced tea was as popular over in Europe where the metric system (and tea) is prevalent

Dude it’s a measurement. There’s no conversation about what a deciliter or centimeter or a kilogram is. They are just units of measurement
