A friend says that iced tea causes a lot of micturation. I never noticed because I drink gallons of iced tea daily, so maybe
Why not both? With breakfast, I have two mugs of tea then switch to coffee for the workday.

Tea rolls with me wherever I may be. Thatâs a consequence (benefit?) of having lived in East Asia for a few years. Particularly entertaining were at Hui cuisine holes-in-the-wall in China, where pitchers of black tea containing flotsam of vague provenance kept company the rarely cleaned dining tables.
Coffee is only after a long-haul flight, or for when I get two hours of sleep ⌠generally the day after a long-haul flight.
Either tea nor coffee can really help me to stay awake. I just need nap at the end.

Great question. I used to like english breakfast tea with milk, 4-5 cups a day. Now I really donât like breakfast tea at all. I prefer black coffee or some kind of Chinese or Green tea (with no milk). Funny how times change

How about brewed cacao? Crio popularized it this century, and I couldnât get it out of my mind, but I didnât want to pay the $30+ for ground cacao. I found out from the company that it is ground coarsely, so I hacked it by ordering cacao nibs and slightly grinding them in a blade coffee grinder. (You definitely wouldnât want to do this in a burr grinder, as the cacao butter would gunk it up). One of the brew methods Crio suggests is a mokka pot, so I did that, added a little sugar, and topped with steamed milk and foam. Voila, cacaocinno!
Itâs actually pretty tasty â like a thin hot chocolate.
I wonder if this is at all like what they were drinking in the Americas years ago?
