Simple brew tea shortcut

Since I’m mostly stuck inside these days, I find I’m drinking more tea than usual. So, as a modification of my brew coffee shortcut, I’ve created a brew tea shortcut.

This one is slightly more complicated, since I want to do different things depending on if the tea is caffeinated or not.

We start by making this choice:

A menu titled Brew Tea offers a choice between Caffeine and No caffeine.

Then, if we choose caffeine, we log this to the Health app:

A health log entry records a caffeine intake of 40 mg, with an optional date field.

Uncaffeinated tea counts as water (at least for me):

A health logging entry shows a sample of 250 mL of water with No caffeine indicated above it.

And, then, regardless of the type of tea, we set a timer for 7 minutes:

A digital interface displays options to end a menu and start a 7-minute timer.

Running this one requires more interactions with Siri, since she’ll ask which type we want. We can either reply by voice or by pressing the option we want on the screen.
