When it comes to coffee traditions, many people do not know the answer to quite simple questions. We see how waitpeople bring a coffee drink and water in movies and nearby coffee shops. But only a few can tell about the origins of this tradition.
It that this custom first appeared in ancient Greece. Historians claim that it was there that coffee was brewed in Turkish with cold water for the first time. Such a “gesture” so that a person drinking coffee would have the opportunity to cool down and refresh himself. After all, coffee increases the tone, and Greece is far from a northern country.
A little bit later, Turks themselves started taking an interest in this coffee habit, which is intriguing information. Serve a hot drink with a glass of cool water in Turkey began ten years later. Much later, the tradition spread throughout Europe. Traditionally, the procession started in Vienna. Therefore, Viennese coffee with cold water.
It is less attractive than coffee served with water but is drunk slightly in the south and Europe. Residents of the European continent prefer alternately to take sips of scalding coffee, then cool water. But in the south, they drink water after emptying the cup with the fragrant drink.
What effect does the combination of coffee and water have:
Bright taste. Drinking water allows you to purify your taste buds. Thanks to this trick, each subsequent sip of coffee will remain as rich and delicious as the previous one. Health benefits. You can control your blood pressure. It’s no secret that caffeine can cause fluctuations in blood pressure. But each sip of water allows you to weaken the effect of caffeine slightly and normalizes heart rate and blood pressure.
White teeth. Coffee is a common cause of yellow teeth with plaque. Water helps to prevent the staining of tooth enamel. If an important meeting follows a coffee beverage, make it a rule to take a sip of water after each coffee sip.
Which water is better to drink?
Coffee is brewed with purified water and served chilled. But there are several variations—for example, lemon juice to water. In addition, you can drink a refreshing drink with mineral water. The choice depends solely on your tastes.
