Chatting with the barista at my in-house cafe, we got to talking about hot beverages and warmer weather. I mentioned that hot drinks in summer are a fantastic way to keep cool. She looked incredulous.
The logic is that everything you drink regardless of the temperature eventually has to be matched to your body temperature, so the closer the temperature of your drink to your body temperature, the less energy your body has to use to heat or cool it and therefore your body generates less heat.
But if you don't believe me, you are welcome to drink your tea iced.
My tea picks for spring:
- T2 - Gorgeous Geisha - Green tea with strawberries;
- Madame Flavour - White Tea and Rose
- The Tea Centre - Honeybush Country Berry - Honeybush, strawberry leaves, raspberry and elder blossoms (also great iced).
Is this true? Very interesting!
ReplyDeleteI learned this from a girlfriend that worked at a chinese restaurant. The owners would drink copious amounts of hot green tea throughout summer to keep cool. Strange, but true!
