If i had access to an airlock that could depressurize to ~0 bar could i brew a cup of tea with it?

    It’s not the boiling that’s the important factor - it’s the temperature.

    You could make a cup of tea with it, but it wouldn’t be much different than just plopping a teabag in room-temperature water for the same amount of time.

      This is illustrated when boiling something at altitude. Because the boiling point is lower, you have to do it longer to compensate.

        I had a cup of tea in the café near the top of Mont Blanc and it was the most overpriced, vile cuppa I’ve ever had 🤢

      Their might be a mild improvement over still room temp water as the potential boil would agitate the tea a bit to speed up the steaping
