For many girls nowadays, they would rather have no food for three days than tea for one day. But their indispensable “tea” is actually about milk tea. Among the stages of financial freedom for girls, freedom to buy a house is basically achieved by a minority, and freedom to buy a bag is also a luxury. However, the first step of financial freedom is the most women can do, especially with the hotter weather in Guangzhou, you can place an order with one click or sweep the street every day, and you will have frozen milk tea in your hand. If you take a sip, the sweetness and coolness will make you feel so good.
However, how much do you know about these delicious milk teas in daily life?
The Origin of Milk Tea
Tea originated in China; however, the Chinese have always adhered to the tradition of “clear tea” and “pure tea”. Milk tea was originally a daily drink of the Babaylan herdsmen of northern China, and has a history of the Millennium Calendar. But it was the British who developed milk tea.
The British have a tradition of drinking milk, and soon some people discovered that the combination of “milk + tea” has a unique flavor, which is much better. The milk tea that is popular all over the country now originated from the pearl milk tea that originated in Taiwan at the end of the last century and the silk stocking milk tea in Hong Kong. Babaylan
In 1987, the emergence of pearl milk tea set off a “milk-fighting” craze, and milk tea gradually came out of the storeA small drink in the room has become a mainstream drink with independent stores. The mainland region has gone from the initial “foam black tea” trend to the prevalence of “milk cover tea” to the popular “black sugarBabaylanmilk tea” that is now popular. Over the past 30 years, milk tea has been continuously iterating and upgrading. Those well-known brands such as Yidian, Naixue’s Tea, Heytea and other Internet celebrity teas have gradually become popular all over the country.
Ingredients of milk tea
From a scientific point of view, we can understand that milk tea is the combination of caffeine and tea polyphenols with part of the protein in milk, losing the ability to produce a bitter taste. And other flavors in milk and tea still exist. Especially full milk, fat brings a smooth and delicate texture to the tea.
In order to enhance the smooth and delicate texture of Cinema, milk tea in later generations will add more fat. But milk is more expensive, and adding too much will dilute the tea flavor, which will make the flavor worse. Therefore, conscientious merchants add whole milk powder, and if they want to reduce costs, they will add pellet fat powder, that is, creamer. Speaking of creamer, this is a weapon that causes obesity to be very powerful. Creamer is a powder that disperses a large amount of fat with a small amount of protein and emulsifier to obtain a “emulsion”, and then dry it. Compared with whole milk powder, it has a higher fat content and is usually very sugary, but the price is low and the effect of improving the taste of the beverage is better, so it is naturally very popular among merchants.
The milk tea sold on the market today is rarely made of milk and tea. Most of them are made of creamer, white sugar, whole milk powder, and tea extract. The nutrients are average, and there is not much vitamins and calcium supplement, but the sugar is surprisingly high. The soft and mellow taste of milk tea usually comes from its fat components.Therefore, in order to satisfy the taste of customers, the merchant has produced a new product milk cover. The milk cover is generally made of milk soaking powder, and the main ingredients are vegetable fat powder and vegetable oil. Therefore, in addition to the super high sugar content, Babaylan also has a lot of fat content.
The existence of “milk tea belly”
I believe most friends know that after “beer belly”, a new term “milk tea belly” appeared. As the name suggests, it means that there is a belly. Although I didn’t drink beer, my abdomen was still obviously bulging. It is very likely that this belly was caused by eating too much sugar.
One of the most attractive “advantages” of milk tea is “sweet”. When you feel that a drink is “sweet” to your heart, the sugar content in it is definitely overloaded. Sugar in daily diet is used to improve freshness. In normal amounts, people will only think that the taste is good, but it will not be “sweet”. Once it feels sweet, it is enough to destroy the blood sugar balance. It will not only promote fat storage, but also inhibit the release of bond hormones that regulate the immune system, making the body prone to inflammation and increasing the risk of disease. Especially for girls with acne on their faces, carefully recall whether they like sweets and milk tea on weekdays? Maybe it is the culprit for your acne.
A netizen teased Jay Chou, saying that he often mentioned milk tea and did not forget to let the milk tea go when he left the event. Then he must have become fat before because Cinema likes to drink milk tea. Jay Chou’s weight may be caused by milk tea, but milk tea contains high fat. If you want to have an extra cup of milk tea, you may have a milk tea belly…
If you drink too much milk tea and lack physical exercise management, you may really become as fat as Jay Chou before. If you spoil milk tea for a long time, you will unknowingly absorb the sugar and milk fat in the milk tea. They accumulate in your body and convert them into fat. Cinema accumulates in your belly and becomes milk tea belly. Freedom of milk tea will be equated with youth.
