Do you love coffee? While coffee may give you a quick burst of energy, it can also leave you feeling jittery and anxious. That’s where tea comes in. Not only is tea a soothing and delicious beverage, but it also has a ton of health benefits. Here’s why you should substitute your morning coffee with a cup of tea instead.

Plenty of Antioxidants

Tea is packed with antioxidants, which help protect your body from damage caused by free radicals. This can help to reduce your risk of developing chronic diseases like cancer and heart disease. Additionally, tea contains caffeine, which can give you a gentle energy boost without the jitters that coffee can cause.

Improved Brain Function

But the benefits of tea don’t stop there. Drinking tea has also been linked to improved brain function, reduced risk of depression, and even better gut health. And if you’re trying to lose weight, tea can be a great addition to your diet. Not only is it low in calories, but it can also help to boost your metabolism and burn fat.

So next time you’re in the mood for a hot beverage, skip the coffee and brew yourself a cup of tea instead. With so many different flavors and types of tea to choose from, there’s sure to be one that you love. And with all of the amazing health benefits that tea has to offer, it’s a no-brainer.

Have you been trying to cut down on sugar, but find yourself struggling to do so day in and day out? If so, you’re far from alone. Considering the fact that corporations have successfully promoted sugary products for decades, we have a generation of people who are addicted to the stuff. This leads us to our next point, which is that drinking tea without sugar is a great way to wean yourself off it.

A Gateway

The idea of going cold turkey is a lot—too much, in fact, for most people to handle. Sugar is such a large part of the food and drink we consume daily that avoiding it completely can sometimes seem downright impossible. But by withholding it from your tea, you’re providing a “gateway”—a method to ease your way into a sugarless life without it feeling cruel or unnatural.

Perspective Shift

The idea is that once you start enjoying the natural flavors of your tea without sugar, you may start naturally appreciating the rest of your foods and drinks. In the best of scenarios, you may find yourself uninterested in certain sugary products you once loved. And wouldn’t that be the sweetest treat of them all?

Masala chai, drunk daily in India, is one of the best drinks to make on cold days. It uses a similar spice profile to such fall favorites as pumpkin pie spice and apple pie spice, with warm sweetness and even spicy if you’re feeling adventurous. Here’s how to make it easily at home, getting the most out of your spices.

Ingredients:

  • Black tea
  • Milk
  • Sweetener
  • Cinnamon
  • Cloves 
  • Ginger
  • Nutmeg
  • Allspice
  • Cardamom
  • Black pepper, coriander, and anise (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Start by putting your milk in a saucepan over low heat with all your spices. If you have whole spices, it’s better to you use them here so you won’t have any grittiness, but ground works just fine too. Let your milk heat up slowly, giving it lots of time to soak up flavor from the spices.
  2. Be sure not to let it boil, as it may burn. Once it’s beginning to simmer, add your tea and let it steep for around five minutes. If you prefer a thinner, less rich tea add boiling water along with the tea.
  3. Once it’s steeped for long enough, add your sweetener to taste, strain out the spices and tea, and serve.

The whole world was influenced by the outbreak of coronavirus. In these uncertain times, it’s more important than ever to know how to boost your immunity and stay healthy. Here are the foods that will help you with that.

Green Vegetables

You should be eating green vegetables all the time, but it’s especially important during the pandemic. If you can’t get fresh produce, buy bags of frozen veggies in the supermarket.

Fruit

Various fruits make a perfect snack when you’re in the mood for something sweet. They will satisfy your sugar cravings and provide your body with much-needed vitamins.

Tea

You should drink plenty of water every day and add a few cups of tea, too. Herbal tea is excellent before sleep, and green or black tea can keep you awake if you want to avoid coffee.

Nuts

Nuts are a perfect replacement for store-bought snacks. They are high in calories so you won’t need much, but they will keep you healthy and energized all day long.

While for many of us caffeine is essential to get a day started, some stay away from regularly drinking caffeinated drinks on a regular basis. This includes green and black tea, as they have between 25 to 50 mg of caffeine per tea bag.

But having a hot drink has other importance, from the ceremonial “start of the day” to the “meet for a cup of tea” social aspect. It’s easy enough to get decaffeinated coffee in most places, so we thought we’d tell you a bit about your options when it comes to decaf tea.

Regular, decaf

Some people drink tea simply because they like the taste, and the closest you can get to the taste of regular tea is by having a cup of… regular tea. Most companies that bag and distribute tea have a decaffeinated version of their black tea available to buy.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B938GnHAhWL/

Rooibos

One of the most popular alternatives to caffeinated tea is this South African red brew. It is a great first step for those who are used to having regular, caffeinated tea, and even for those who have their tea with a little bit of milk.

Herbal

Most herbal tea besides rooibos provides a different experience than regular tea. There are many options out there, from the popular chamomile, mint, and honey-lemon tea, to more specific fruit flavors like berries and apples, or ginseng or mushroom tea. Just pick and infuse.

Coffee and tea are two of the most popular drinks on the planet. One, or both, of these drinks is a part of the daily routine of billions of different people around the globe.

One of the main reasons that people find so much value in both coffee and tea is their caffeine content. Both of these drinks provide a boost of caffeine, a mild nervous system stimulant that is lauded for its role in helping humans maintain attention and staying awake.

So, if you are looking for a caffeine boost, which of these two drinks should you choose? Let’s explore further.

Tea

Tea is a drink that is made by pouring hot water over dried leaves that are taken from a plant that is cultivated in mild, wet places. 

While green tea and black tea have significant production and flavor differences, both contain about the same amount of caffeine per 8 ounce cup. You will typically find between 25 and 35 milligrams of caffeine in an average cup of tea, which is considered to be a mild dose.

Coffee

Coffee is a drink that is made by adding hot water to the ground form of beans obtained from a genus of flowering plants that are native to Africa and Asia and cultivated in warm tropical environments.

Coffee is commonly drunk either in an espresso-based or a drip brew-based format. One shot of espresso, which measures about an ounce, contains about 50 to 60 milligrams of caffeine.

Meanwhile, a larger, eight-ounce cup of brewed coffee typically contains anywhere between 100 and 160 milligrams of caffeine, depending on the strength of the brew. Coffee is definitely your best choice for a big caffeine boost!

We know that chai tea is popular, but if you’re not sure what exactly it is, here’s your chance to learn. 

Chai tea is an amazing beverage that has the power to calm you down and warm your heart when you need it the most. It first appeared in India thousands of years ago. According to the legend, originally it was made using native spices and it was used for healing practice Ayurveda. The word “chai” actually means tea, so you can also call “chai tea” “tea tea” and you wouldn’t be wrong.

Chai tea as we know it today is made using black tea and aromatic spices. There’s a difference between chai tea and a chai tea latte, though many believe they refer to the same thing. Chai tea latte actually contains a lot more sugar and can also have added cream or sweetener. It’s commonly served with whipped cream, too.

Chai tea, however, gets its flavor from milk, some sugar, and traditional spices like ginger and cardamom. It comes with many health benefits like improving heart health and reducing cholesterol.

Green tea is, without a doubt, one of the best hot drinks to have when the temperature drops and the days get colder. This antioxidant-rich beverage isn’t only tasty, it’s also super healthy and good for you.

Here are some additions that you can put in your green tea to make it a little more exciting.

Honey

One of the most classic combinations in the hot drink world is tea and honey. We especially like combining natural honey with green tea because the honey’s sweetness does a fantastic interplay with the light tannins of the green tea.

Pomegranate Juice

Green tea goes together fantastically with pomegranate, and I think the best way to incorporate the flavor is to add a splash of the fruit’s juice. This combination is equally delicious when cold or hot.

Mint

Put green together with green and add a little bit of mint to your green tea! Spearmint, whose light mint flavor and wonderful aroma do a good job of complementing the drink’s natural flavors, can be added into your mug in order to create an absolutely delicious creation.

Coffee and tea are two of the most popular drinks on the planet. One, or both, of these drinks is a part of the daily routine of billions of different people around the globe.

One of the main reasons that people find so much value in both coffee and tea is their caffeine content. Both of these drinks provide a boost of caffeine, a mild nervous system stimulant that is lauded for its role in helping humans maintain attention and staying awake.

So, if you are looking for a caffeine boost, which of these two drinks should you choose? Let’s explore further.

Tea

Tea is a drink that is made by pouring hot water over dried leaves that are taken from a plant that is cultivated in mild, wet places. 

While green tea and black tea have significant production and flavor differences, both contain about the same amount of caffeine per 8 ounce cup. You will typically find between 25 and 35 milligrams of caffeine in an average cup of tea, which is considered to be a mild dose.

Coffee

Coffee is a drink that is made by adding hot water to the ground form of beans obtained from a genus of flowering plants that are native to Africa and Asia and cultivated in warm tropical environments.

Coffee is commonly drunk either in an espresso-based or a drip brew-based format. One shot of espresso, which measures about an ounce, contains about 50 to 60 milligrams of caffeine.

Meanwhile, a larger, eight-ounce cup of brewed coffee typically contains anywhere between 100 and 160 milligrams of caffeine, depending on the strength of the brew. Coffee is definitely your best choice for a big caffeine boost!

We know that chai tea is popular, but if you’re not sure what exactly it is, here’s your chance to learn. 

Chai tea is an amazing beverage that has the power to calm you down and warm your heart when you need it the most. It first appeared in India thousands of years ago. According to the legend, originally it was made using native spices and it was used for healing practice Ayurveda. The word “chai” actually means tea, so you can also call “chai tea” “tea tea” and you wouldn’t be wrong.

Chai tea as we know it today is made using black tea and aromatic spices. There’s a difference between chai tea and a chai tea latte, though many believe they refer to the same thing. Chai tea latte actually contains a lot more sugar and can also have added cream or sweetener. It’s commonly served with whipped cream, too.

Chai tea, however, gets its flavor from milk, some sugar, and traditional spices like ginger and cardamom. It comes with many health benefits like improving heart health and reducing cholesterol.

Green tea is, without a doubt, one of the best hot drinks to have when the temperature drops and the days get colder. This antioxidant-rich beverage isn’t only tasty, it’s also super healthy and good for you.

Here are some additions that you can put in your green tea to make it a little more exciting.

Honey

One of the most classic combinations in the hot drink world is tea and honey. We especially like combining natural honey with green tea because the honey’s sweetness does a fantastic interplay with the light tannins of the green tea.

Pomegranate Juice

Green tea goes together fantastically with pomegranate, and I think the best way to incorporate the flavor is to add a splash of the fruit’s juice. This combination is equally delicious when cold or hot.

Mint

Put green together with green and add a little bit of mint to your green tea! Spearmint, whose light mint flavor and wonderful aroma do a good job of complementing the drink’s natural flavors, can be added into your mug in order to create an absolutely delicious creation.
