It actually contains caffeine, which means it makes for a good morning drink, since it gives you energy, but not the rush and palpitations that comes with coffee, which makes it ideal for us students, since you won’t have that problem of still being sleepy and exhausted, while your heart is busy running a marathon.

HOw to properly prepare tea
Tea can be served hot or cold, but when brewing any tea, don’t let the water reach a rolling boiling point and don’t steep it longer if you want to make it stronger, because this actually makes it more bitter, instead add more leaves, or add in another bag. In the case of Green tea, steeping it more than once can actually bring out more of the flavor.
Pomegranate Juice
This is one of the most nutritious beverages you can find in the supermarket, It’s packed with antioxidants, and It’s also rich in immune-boosting vitamin C, making it a perfect drink to act as a pandemic resistance potion! Though keep in mind the effect isn’t instantaneous.
Coconut water
This is a drink our country certainly has an abundance of, and it helps a lot in hydrating the body, and is a great source of potassium, which we need to maintain a healthy heartbeat and regulate blood pressure.
Lemon Water
Water is an essential part of our life that helps you have better skin, and a healthier body, so what’s better than water? Lemon water, it tastes better and gives you more vitamin c. Just add 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and a tablespoon of honey to make a delicious and easy to make healthy drink.
Orange Juice
I feel like this is rather self-explanatory, as from other article, Citrus fruits are clearly a good source of Vitamin C, which makes it perfect for fighting, ahem..the other “C’. But orange juice is actually also a good source of potassium and thiamin as well as calcium, and vitamin D if it says its fortified.
