Many people like to drink tea and coffee with sugar, as this makes the drink more pleasant and tasty.

However, this habit cannot be called useful: a regular drink becomes more caloric.

Moreover, gourmets will not agree that sugar makes energy drinks more delicious: on the contrary, it seems that sweetness overshadows all taste qualities, making even expensive varieties of tea and coffee "no good".

Why add salt to your cup of tea or coffee?

It is this component that can significantly improve the taste of any drink. Salt makes tea more noble, tasty and high-quality. Even a cheap drink becomes noticeably tastier.

Salt helps remove the unpleasant bitterness from tea.

If you add sea salt, the tea will become even more interesting.

The situation is similar with coffee. Salt removes all the "flaws" of the drink, removing unpleasant bitterness and sourness. However, everything depends on taste preferences: many people, on the contrary, like these characteristics in coffee.

It is also believed that a small pinch of salt will help to improve the taste of tea and coffee many times over.
