correct way to echo | sudo tee (lemmy.world)

Can someone explain why this would make the command wait forever? What is tee waiting for?

echo "test" | sudo tee newfile

What would be a scriptable workaround for such cases?

Edit: this command would not terminate in zsh. This works fine in bash tho.

no way. I'm in /tmp for this one

echo 'test' | tee newfile
tee: newfile: Permission denied
test
echo 'test' | sudo tee newfile #the prompt never returns when running this in zsh
