I was told of another use for Coke: When you get a cold, drink some
boiled Coke with some fresh lemon juice added.

Anyone else think that boiled coke sounds awful?


Actually it doesn't taste bad at all. Tastes just like Coke, but hot instead
of cold.



I would assume that the fizz would be completely gone, as the heat
would have driven all of the carbon dioxide out of solution.


Depends upon how long you heat it, I imagine - I don't think
she really meant "boiled" in the sense most of us are
thinking of it - maybe just heated to boiling point.

Aah I see the problem. It works out for me, as I'm the kind of infidel
that ruins perfectly good tea with milk.


I drink green and white tea straight. Others I drink with a few drops
lemon juice,
and a spoonful of sugar. Milk and sugar with tea is good too, but only with
red tea.
Also drink herbal tea such as ginger tea straight.

LOL. Me, too. Plus honey!

*cringe* sugar...but I am down to one spoon. Honey is quite expensive
here compared to sugar, usually $5 per jar minimum, so I usually eke it
out.


No milk or cold water in my tea, I want it hot and lots of it. My teacup
could almost be described as a "tea bowl", it measures about 4 dl (a bit
under 2 cups, I think, maybe 1 3/4 cups).
And I don't drink my tea unsweetened either. I usually take Hermesetas
sweetener, but do use different kinds of sugar or honey too occasionally.
I don't use much to sweeten the tea, just a bit to cut the "edge". And I
don't drink coffee at all, whereas DH Janne drinks both tea and coffee.

Ever since baby number two, I have been unable to stand coffee. I used to
love it, and still love the smell, but I can't drink it!! I am now converted
to tea. I find it to 'tanniny' if I don't add a little sugar.

What are the differences, taste wise, in all these teas? Do they have health
benefits?? i have only drunk green and black tea, and only the 'ordinary'
sort.

I found white and green tea are not as strong as black or red tea.
Ginger tea is not really tea, in that it is not made from the camellia
leaves,
but from the ginger root, and it tastes like ginger.
Ginger is good as a digestion aid, and helps
with nausea. A friend claimed ginger tea helps her with night coughs.
Chinese use lots of ginger in our cooking

For benefits of red, green or black tea, you can go to
http://www.drweil.com/u/QA/QA82788/
Some cosmetic companies also put white tea in their products so it
probably is good for the skin in some ways.
I also heard white tea benefits the teeth and gum.

Hope this helps.

Thanks I use ginger, honey and lemon tea for colds. Fresh everything of
course. I have been very interested in Chinese medicinal teas, as I saw an
historical TV program lately, about the history of tea, and it was very
interesting! Didn't increase my respect for the english, though...but i was
particularly interested in how the efficacy of the tea was related to the
'purity' of the area it was grown in. Thanks for that link, I'll check it
out.

The best (and only) way to drink tea IMHO is with lemon juice and honey in
it. OK, honey can be substituted for splenda if you want to watch carbs and
calories, but the lemon is a must!

I only recently encountered red tea. I love it. It tastes great,
smells (to me) like very good pipe tobacco (not the smoke, but the
stuff you would put into a pipe), and it's naturally non caffeinated.
It's not "really" tea in the same way that herbal tea isn't really
tea. But whatever it is, it tastes great.

I went to PF Chang's recently and tried the Citrus Spice tea from
Revolution Tea. I liked it so much that I went online and ordered
some. Little surprise that it turns out to use red tea (roobois).

Oops. Apparently I'm talking about the African red tea, not the
Chinese red tea.
