Why do I get the feeling those boxes in the background contain the organs of people who didn't like his 'Ice teaaaaaaa'

My process: fill a water cooker with some tap water, pour the boiling water on a black tea bag (you can get about 3 or 4 servings of medium tea out of 1 bag, not one cup as indicated on the package by the manifacturer) or tea egg in a tea pot (preferably made out of earthenware but glass is fine too), stir and let it cool down by putting it in a cool place. If it's not cold enough put it in the fridge for a while. Add some (I generally add a low quantity) (cane) sugar and/or a slice of lemon. Done.

Note:
Don't waste as much energy/sugar as in the video. It's bad;), no really

Does this iced tea taste like roofies to anyone else? Meh, screw it. It's a magical elixer of dreams... and sometimes nightmares. Cheers!

I'll tell you what's creepy,

That was...brilliant....I want to put it inhe Dark channel but I'm not sure it's quite right hehe

Strangely watchable, although he does seem to wear Rapist Glasses(TM) that make drinking anything he makes somewhat "edgy" as PorkChopExpress so nicely puts it! hehe

but I think a good videom I liked Although yeah, less sugar mayhaps?

I was wondering about the stove element. Guessing it's because the camera sees different wavelengths than our eyes. Don't quote me on that though.

don't think that's it. The other colors seem normal, and the red apples, and red chili peppers come out just fine.

Whoops, I quoted you.

Digital cameras are sensitive to infrared light. I'm guessing the IR filter on his camera is crap and the heat from the element is what we're seeing. The result is a blend of the visible colors plus a cool white added from the heat (greater temperature increases the intensity of the white). If you remove the IR filter you'll get a far more dramatic change. Here's a photo that intentionally exhibits the effect.

Even then, it could still be the camera. I was playing with a camera once and it made my crimson shirt look light blue, but a coke can beside me was still perfectly reproduced as the right shade of red.

Why is he sticking a dirty measuring cup into the sugar? I can only hope that the white sticky stuff on the cup is sugar, but from my experience sugar doesn't clump like that on a plastic surface unless it's clinging to...something else.

cheesemoo, xxovercastx, rychan, Thanks for the help with the blue element... it has really been bothering me.
I actually shoot a lot of IR video (NIR not FIR), and I just didn't think that this was what was going on... but hmm could be.
That's not what's important right now. Right now we need to be concerned about getting this guy out of public circulation before any more kittens can be ground up to make iced tea.

Rofl. Seriously, rofl. Way to over-complicate things, IR and camera wave-lengths... cracked me up, you guys. Just take a look at his stove at 1:27-1:47 (the other ring). It's clearly fueled by a propane tank, and I know because I've utilized ones such as this for years , it's not your usual electric one, duh. It's actual flames that were burning blue, not a heated metal element. DOH.

ok, this guy is creepy, but from my point of view, he's also giving totally wack advice. Way to tell people how to make stewed tea, dude.

I drink a ton of iced tea every day: it is my beverage of choice. I make a very strong pot of earl grey tea using loose leaves, I don't let it brew more than 5 minutes, and I pour it over a full glass of ice. No boiling. No bags. lot's and lot's of expired tea leaves to feed to my compost worms.

No one will ever read this, I suspect. But I've said it, and that pleased me, and as Craig Ferguson says, that's what's important.
