I always love to drink something to keep myself awake, but I get tired of coffee easily, so I want to try something new. I remember that black tea may help me to keep energetic and I decided to give it a shot.

I went to the supermarket nearby and bought some black tea bags, they are easy to brew.

Then I came back home and boiled some water. It seems that 2.5 grams of tea is suitable for 15cl of hot water, so I followed this instruction. It said that I can add a half teaspoon of tea if I like the bitter taste. But I skipped this step, I just used the original 2.5 grams of tea.

• I put one tea bag into a cup.
• I poured the water into the cup.
• I waited for about 4 minutes.

Finally, I got a cup of strong black tea. I took a sip and it tasted good, not too bitter. I drank the whole cup and felt pretty good. I think I will keep drinking it in the future. I have heard that it may bring some benefits to health, but I am not quite sure about it. Anyway, it is a nice try for me.

Drinking black tea does make me feel awake, I think it really can be an alternative to coffee. I don’t need to worry about getting tired of coffee anymore. This is a good experience for me!

My conclusion

Black tea works for me and I really love it. If you are also looking for some drinks to help you stay awake, I suggest you try it too. You may love it like me.
