But the pressure you’d need to keep nitrogen a liquid is way more than for tea, ¿si, no? I’d expect the stomach to act as a pressure vessel that could keep water water.
Chances are that your body would act like a heat sink and rapidly cool it below its boiling point so the pressure wouldn't matter that much (b.p. at 0.3 bar ~70°C). If you hypothetically managed to swallow it while it was evaporating, though, we'd need a stronger word than "burp".
Okie dokie, this problem has consumed my morning and I'm all into it.
I guess we need a bit more info from @maryrobinette.bsky.social.
"Safe" temperature to drink any tea is 140 F. Boiling point for water at 4.9 psi is roughly 158 F (70 C). So it would still be in liquid form when drunk BUT-

I'd go with your body acting like a heat sink which rapidly cools it to a liquid state. However
1 ml of h2o becoming 5 L of steam is a funny image in my head. What happens if the water didn't lose temperature on the way to the stomach?
