I am planning to get a good thermos and avoid taking anything electrical to library. Also cleaning a thermos would be an easy job and would be useful in winters too for storing hot water. While electric kettles and immersion heaters too are useful, it's a no-no at my workplace so wouldn't be able to make much use out of it.
Why can't you take in ice tea? Since you only need caffeine, and you can't drink coffee, this seems overly complicated.
Drink cold tea. I don't see any need to brew it while your there during the day.
My body temp reduces when I drink anything cold and I immediately feel like going to sleep. Since I want to concentrate for few hours, hot tea works best for me.
Yeah, I've found your basic Stanley or Thermos brand thermoses keep my tea hot for 10 or so hours even with opening it several times a day. And I would have to bring it outside for about 90 minutes in 20 degree weather.
I had to find a container which would keep my husband's coffee hot for many hours, and I chose Stanley. It worked very well.
You can't bring a hot plate into a library. Are you nuts? If you can't afford to buy yourself your hot beverage somewhere and then drink it in the library ( who, by the way, you should be thanking for allowing food and drink inside at all ), that's too bad. SOL.
I spend around 8 hours in library these days to study and usually need tea in between to increase my concentration. Library does not have a microwave to boil water/milk. There's a QT around, but I am allergic to coffee, so I am stuck to tea.
I am looking for ways to boil milk and water in the library without access to microwave or stove. Library does have electric sockets/plug, so something electric would work.
Just get an insulated tumbler and bring hot tea with you. Even Walmart carries a brand that keeps things hot or cold as long as costly prestige brands.
Then you need a better thermos, should keep it hot for hours.
They also work better if you preheat them by pouring in hot water first for a couple minutes. Then dump it out and refill with your “real” hot water or tea.
I doubt the library would appreciate you bringing in your own electric kettle.
For sure the better thermos will work for you OP, plenty of testimonials to that here. No doubt the electric kettle will be a no go at the library, they're really not set up for any of the "comforts of home".

I can preheat the mixture before hand at home and then use it as is. Will take a look at it. Thanks for sharing!

This is insane. You can't bring electrical appliances to a library.
Here's your solution: a couple bottles of room temperature Snapple Iced Tea.
