If you are more into tea, cold brew tea is also a thing and very nice. This actually works with most varieties of tea but is especially nice with white or green tea. Rooibos is also a nice one to try. Simply steep a jug of cold water with some tea in the fridge and leave it for 12 hours or so. Very refreshing and it typically has a sweeter/less bitter taste than normal tea. I don't add any sugar/honey so it's healthy too. But of course you can if you want.
I also drink coffee sometimes but mostly green tea these days. I get my tea from a Pakistani supermarket in Berlin that sells it in bricks of half a kilo. I drink about a liter of that in the morning. When I drink coffee, it's mostly at nice coffee shops. We're very spoiled with those in Berlin.

- willcipriano 5y agoI've always seen it done at room temp and called sun tea.
- hluska 5y agoMy French Canadian grandmother made: - Sun tea (room temperature and during the day). - Moon tea (room temperature and during the night). - Fridge tea (refrigerated). She passed away over thirty years ago so do with this what you will, but I’m convinced I could tell the difference. Who knows though.
- Aloha 5y agoI make sun tea too, but it involves.. the sun, on my back porch.

- nighthawk454 5y agoNo? To be honest this is the first I'm hearing of this. This paper reads like a loose collection of tea-adjacent statements vaguely cited - doesn't particularly inspire confidence in any kind of 'conclusion'. A cursory glance at a few other sources suggests you'd have to consume on the order of 10,000 times the amount in a glass of tea to get adverse effects. Seems about as toxic as caffeine. > ...drinking of the studied green teas cannot make a significant contribution to the daily dietary intake of F for consumers. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/articles/PMC4811265/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/articles/PMC4811265/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33350950/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33350950/
- nkozyra 5y agoYou have to drink a lot of older tea leaves from specific areas to have any real concerns about this. Gunpowder green tea is a common version that carries more F than others but most casual drinkers will never come near levels to cause physical concerns.
- forgotmyoldacc 5y agoThe paper you've linked seems to be written by a crackpot with no training in biology, nor was the paper published in any journal, much less a reputable biology/medical one.
- refurb 5y ago"Fluoride is a chemical castration agent..." Yeah, gonna guess that's not a reputable publication.
- copperx 5y agoYes, fluoride and acrylamide are the reasons I avoid tea and coffee. You can replace tea with water and lemon, and coffee with modafinil.
