It already is. That water is hot enough to wash in, but not hot enough to make coffee or tea.
Plus nobody ever remembers to change out the anode in the heater so it doesn't exactly taste the best.

First of all running water until it gets scalding hot is a sin against God and a waste of water so jot that down
Second, when was the last time you changed out your sacrificial anode? Hot tap water is simply dirtier than cold and will impart off flavors to your brews.
Third of all, how hot is that water, actually? Have you measured it? Is it consistent? You're just plain not getting proper extraction from your tea.

Spoilers: You're supposed to replace the sacrificial anode ever 2~5 years, it will keep your heater clean and in good repair for longer.
