<div class="moz-cite-prefix">This psak has been reported a lot over
the last few weeks, as part of an advertisement for some new book.<br>

Here Rav Ovadia says that one should allow the coffee or tea to
cool a bit before saying the bracha. If someone says the bracha
and only then allows the coffee to cool, that passes b'diavad.<br>
<br>
However on the same page, <a
href="http://www.ateret4u.com/online/f_01355_part_15.html#HtmpReportNum0005_L2">http://www.ateret4u.com/online/f_01355_part_15.html#HtmpReportNum0005_L2</a>
he writes that one doesn't say a bracha achrona on coffee which is
hot because one drinks it very slowly.<br>
<br>
So it would seem that at least b'diavad one can say a bracha on a
piping hot cup of tea.<br>

<div>My daughter learned in seminary that you're not allowed to
(or should not) drink water that has been heated but not to
the point of boiling. If it was boiled and then cooled off
that's OK but you can't pour yourself a cup of coffee from the
kettle before the water boils. I told her I had never heard
of this and would ask my learned friends on Avodah. Anybody?<br>
