It sounds like to me you have already powered on the phone. If you hadnt powered on the phone, you should have placed in a bag of white rice. And let sit for 24hrs. The rice acts as a vacumn and draws the moisture back out of the phone. Since you have turned it on, was it still wet when you did? It sounds like to me the motherboard has been fried in certain spots. It will need to be send in to be repaired or replaced.

How to make ice tea , in the iced tea maker

Iced tea is made using citrus fruits such as citrus fruits, limes, lemons and even the berries. This recipe I've made use of charcoal powder. You can also make use of tea leaves. Green tea is also a good option to make the ice tea. Because tea is rich in antioxidants, it's a good idea to incorporate tea into your diet.

I've made use of organic, unrefined cane sugar to sweeten the tea. You can also add jaggery (though the flavor will differ) and any other sugar of your preference.
How to make iced Tea recipeSteeping tea
1. In a pan pour 1.25 litres water.
2. Place the pan over an open flame. Let the water get to a boiling point.
3. After the water has come to an end of boiling, turn off the burner and pour in 2 cups of black tea powder. To give a subtle tea taste one can add 1 tablespoon of tea powder. In lieu of powdered tea, you could make use of green or black tea leaves.
4. You can add 1/3-1/2 cup of sugar. For a taste that is less sweet you can add 1/4 cup of sugar.
5. Mix well, and let the tea leaves infuse within the water for 4 five minutes. If you want a milder tea flavor, steep for between 2 and 3 minutes.
6. After the tea has been steeped in the hot water add 3 tablespoons of lemon juice. To give it a more lemony flavor it is possible to include 4 tablespoons lemon juice as well. It is also possible to skip the lemon juice completely and just make simple cold tea.
7. Stir using the spoon
8. Then strain the tea into the glass or stainless steel jar. The glass jar must be able to withstand the temperature.
9. Allow the tea to cool to the room temperature. You can then chill it in the refrigerator.
10. As you serve Add four to five glasses of ice cubes. You can add more or less according to your taste. Additionally, you can add between 1 and 2 slices of lemon. The addition of lemon slices is not required.
11. Pour the tea into the glass.
12. Garnish with slices of lemon or a small sprig of mint leaves.
Serve tea with ice immediately. While drinking , stir the tea with an ice cube or stirrer.

Tea fell on the keyboard the second line of keys

No, it most probably cannot, keyboards are very inexpensive these days. They are all membrane keypads, underneath, and once liquid, get in between the layers, it is almost impossible to remove. A new KB is in order.
