Question:

Can I use aluminum foil to make a cup of tea or coffee?

Is it possible to use aluminum foil as a container for brewing tea or coffee?

Answer:

While it is technically possible to use aluminum foil as a makeshift container for brewing tea or coffee, it is not recommended. Aluminum foil can react with acidic substances, and both tea and coffee contain acids that may cause a reaction, potentially leaching aluminum into the beverage. This can affect the taste and potentially be harmful to health. It's always better to use materials specifically designed for brewing tea or coffee, such as ceramic, glass, or stainless steel.
