Personally I just ask for hot water, unless they have fruit tea. Sure, you get a few odd looks but I simply ignore them.
I have to say I visit awkward to get to relatives infrequently, unless I especially like them. Then again, I have an awful lot of relatives, and I was always a bit hard like that. It becomes less of an issue as you become older, too.
