Unexpected truths about sweet tea: benefits and proper consumption
Tea has been one of humanity’s closest companions for centuries. It is brewed in different ways across various regions and holds a special place in the daily lives of millions of people. Some enjoy it with milk, others with sugar or lemon. However, many do not fully realize that sweet tea not only tastes good but also has health benefits.

Unexpected benefits of sweet tea

According to tea expert Natalia Larionova, tea with sugar can serve as a source of energy for the body. The reason — sweetness produces glucose in the blood, making a person energetic quickly. When symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, or weakness appear, sweet tea provides fast relief. A plain brew may not have the same effect in such situations.

Additionally, sugar affects the taste of tea. In mildly brewed tea, sweetness enhances the flavor and aroma; in strongly brewed tea rich in tannins, it softens the bitterness and makes the tea smoother. This is especially important for those who consume different types of tea.

What should be considered?

Many prefer drinking strong black tea, but doctors advise doing so cautiously, especially for those with high eye pressure. Brewed tea has a diuretic effect and causes the body to lose fluid. Therefore, it’s recommended not to overconsume tea and to drink a glass of water after every cup. Adding milk increases this effect.

Helpful tips:
  • When you feel low on energy, sweet tea helps effectively;
  • Strong tea should be consumed less and with caution;
  • Drinking plain water after tea helps prevent dehydration;
  • In moderation, sweet tea can be beneficial and not harmful to health.
