This is what Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the starship Enterprise-D orders more than anything else from the food replicator in his ready-room.

Apparently, the Enterprise computer can't remember that Picard likes his tea hot, and it won't accept any command syntax other than (beverage)/(type)/(temperature).

It may be that Picard enjoys a nice cool glass of iced Earl Grey every once in a while, so he has one temperature preset for "hot" and another for "cold" or "iced".

Or, it's just the Captain's quirkiness which makes him order it that way every time.
