Answer 2

A tall glass of iced tea on a hot day is refreshing, and it might also do your body good. Studies show if you drink tea regularly, you may reduce your risk of Alzheimer’s and diabetes, plus have healthier teeth and gums and stronger bones. Tea is rich in a class of antioxidants called flavonoids, which are most potent when tea is freshly brewed. If you want to keep a batch of cold tea in your refrigerator, add a little lemon juice. The citric acid and vitamin C in that squeeze of lemon or lime, or orange help preserve the flavonoids. These iced tea recipes are a delicious way to enjoy this beneficial beverage.

Answer 6

Ah yes, tea. That quintessential beverage. But how shall we make it live up to its reputation?

Start with a large plot of sunny earth at moderate altitude above sea level. Plant numerous Camellia sinensis. Add water. Wait for plants to grow to 3-4 feet in height. Pick leaves from tips of young shoots. Be careful not to bruise leaved for "green tea". Bruise leaves slightly for Oolong, bruise leaves and allow to ferment slightly for black varieties. Dry leaves. Rehydrate in fresh water heated to 90C (oolong), 80C (green), 100C (black). Allow to steep 1-3 minutes (black & oolong), 30 seconds-2 minutes (green). Drink. Enjoy.
