📝 AITA for refusing to walk the dog because my tea would get cold?

So earlier I went downstairs and told my mom I was going to eat some cake and make some mint tea. I made the tea and was just waiting for it to cool down a bit (takes like 5 mins) before drinking it. While I was waiting, my mom asked me to come with her for company to walk the dog, which usually takes around 30 minutes.

I said no because by the time we got back my tea would be cold, and I told her she knew I was making tea. This is also the loose leaf stuff and not typical bag tea. She then told me I could just put it in the microwave, but I said I wasn’t planning on chugging it I actually wanted to enjoy it. I don’t like microwaved tea, it just tastes off to me.

She offered a compromise of putting the tea in a theramostat and taking it with us but it’s really hot outside and having hot tea with the hot weather is not enjoyable in my opinion. If it was iced I would have said yeah.

She got kind of irritated and I got a bit annoyed too because I felt like she was ignoring the fact that I had already said I was making tea.

AITA?

Edit: this is a mundane disagreement, I just wanted peoples opinions
