Answer 3

In my experience "tepid" means "room temperature" whereas "lukewarm" means "just barely warm". So I'd rate tepid as just slightly cooler. But that's splitting hairs. In practical terms -- ie in recipes -- they're interchangeable.

Answer 4

While today using “luke” to mean “warm” has gone out of fashion, possibly due to the popularity of the name “Luke”, at one time that’s what the word meant. This came from the fact that “luke” derived from “lew” or “lewk” or “leuk”, in Middle English, which meant “tepid” (slightly warm).

Answer 7

Actually teped water in cooking is 105 degrees Fahrenheit if you were around 86 that’s probably not hot enough to actually activate yeast so it’s important to follow directions. And if you go too hot up can kill yeast when baking so yeah ummm do some research first.
