Nah. Nah. Nah. You only need one temperature, boiling. If you absolutely insist, rent a hot air balloon and adjust by altitude. You can freeze the tea in icecubes at 32f and then count the number of cubes it would take to lower the boiling temperature to the desired temperature. A good rule of thumb is one cube per 10 degree change.

Don't start up with me, boy. Thermometer? What's a thermometer?
My normal approach to temperature is to bring the kettle to somewhere between five and ten degrees above where I want to be, and then lower the temperature by adding unheated water, by pouring from a height, and/or by pouring from one vessel into another before steeping. Then, I use the whatitsname thing. I wouldn't actually buy the said kettle...I don't think.

No need to go to such expense. Usenet supplies plenty of hot air. I like the idea though. Or, to raise the boiling point, under the rolling sea
Or you could just mix waters, hot and not.

What I'm still looking for which I mentioned several years back is a steam kettle for the stove. It is similar to what the barbers used to steam hot towels. You'll see something similar in the coffee shops to foam the cream in coffee after its been added. I have a coffee maker with something similar but is impractical. With supersaturated steam you can make a boiling cup in about a minute. I've always liked tea brewed this way. It's great for cups and not pots.

Or you could just throw lots of salt in, wait that might not be a good solution after all...
