Drink

Coconut water

Coconut water (also coconut juice) is the clear liquid inside coconuts (fruits of the coconut palm). in early development, it serves as a suspension for the endosperm of the coconut during the nuclear phase of development. as growth continues, the endosperm matures into its cellular phase and deposits into the rind of the coconut pulp. the liquid inside young coconuts is often preferred to the liquid of a ripened coconut. coconut water from young green coconuts is also known specifically as buko juice in philippine english.

Drink

Coffee

Coffee is a brewed drink prepared from roasted coffee beans, the seeds of berries from certain flowering plants in the coffea genus. from the coffee fruit, the seeds are separated to produce a stable, raw product: unroasted green coffee. the seeds are then roasted, a process which transforms them into a consumable product: roasted coffee, which is ground into fine particles that are typically steeped in hot water before being filtered out, producing a cup of coffee. coffee is darkly colored, bitter, slightly acidic and has a stimulating effect in humans, primarily due to its caffeine content. it is one of the most popular drinks in the world and can be prepared and presented in a variety of ways (e.g., espresso, french press, caffè latte, or already-brewed canned coffee). it is usually served hot, although chilled or iced coffee is common. sugar, sugar substitutes, milk or cream are often used to lessen the bitter taste or enhance the flavor. it may be served with coffee cake or another sweet dessert, like doughnuts. a commercial establishment that sells prepared coffee beverages is known as a coffeehouse or coffee shop (not to be confused with dutch coffeeshops selling cannabis). clinical research indicates that moderate coffee consumption is benign or mildly beneficial as a stimulant in healthy adults, with continuing research on whether long-term consumption has positive or negative effects.though coffee is now a global commodity, it has a long history tied closely to food traditions around the red sea. the earliest credible evidence of the drinking of coffee in the form of the modern beverage appears in modern-day yemen from the mid-15th century in sufi shrines, where coffee seeds were first roasted and brewed in a manner similar to current methods. the yemenis procured the coffee beans from the ethiopian highlands via coastal somali intermediaries and began cultivation. by the 16th century, the drink had reached the rest of the middle east and north africa, later spreading to europe. in the 20th century, coffee became a much more global commodity, creating different coffee cultures around the world. the two most commonly grown coffee bean types are c. arabica and c. robusta. coffee plants are cultivated in over 70 countries, primarily in the equatorial regions of the americas, southeast asia, the indian subcontinent, and africa. as of 2018, brazil was the leading grower of coffee beans, producing 35% of the world total. coffee is a major export commodity as the leading legal agricultural export for numerous countries. it is one of the most valuable commodities exported by developing countries. green, unroasted coffee is the most traded agricultural commodity and one of the most traded commodities overall, second only to petroleum. despite the sales of coffee reaching billions of dollars, those actually producing the beans are disproportionately living in poverty. critics also point to the coffee industry's negative impact on the environment and the clearing of land for coffee-growing and water use. the environmental costs and wage disparity of farmers are causing the market for fair trade and organic coffee to expand.

Drink

Fruit juice

Juice is a drink made from the extraction or pressing of the natural liquid contained in fruit and vegetables. it can also refer to liquids that are flavored with concentrate or other biological food sources, such as meat or seafood, such as clam juice. juice is commonly consumed as a beverage or used as an ingredient or flavoring in foods or other beverages, as for smoothies. juice emerged as a popular beverage choice after the development of pasteurization methods enabled its preservation without using fermentation (which is used in wine production). the largest fruit juice consumers are new zealand (nearly a cup, or 8 ounces, each day) and colombia (more than three quarters of a cup each day). fruit juice consumption on average increases with country income level.

Drink

Ginger beer

Traditional ginger beer is a sweetened and carbonated, usually non-alcoholic beverage. historically it was produced by the natural fermentation of prepared ginger spice, yeast and sugar. current ginger beers are often manufactured rather than brewed, frequently with flavour and colour additives, with artificial carbonation. ginger ales are not brewed. ginger beer's origins date from the colonial spice trade with the orient and the sugar-producing islands of the caribbean. it was popular in britain and its colonies from the 18th century. other spices were variously added and any alcohol content was limited to 2% by excise tax laws in 1855. few brewers have maintained an alcoholic product.ginger beer is still produced at home using a symbiotic colony of yeast and a lactobacillus (bacteria) known as a "ginger beer plant" or from a "ginger bug" starter created from fermenting ginger, sugar, and water.

Drink

Mauby

Mauby (in trinidad and tobago, saint lucia, jamaica, st. vincent and the grenadines, grenada, guyana, bermuda, barbados, antigua and barbuda and anguilla), also known as maví (or mabí) in the dominican republic and puerto rico, mabi in haiti and martinique, and maubi in the virgin islands and dutch caribbean islands of st. eustatius, st. maarten and saba), is a tree bark-based beverage grown, and widely consumed, in the caribbean. it is made with sugar and the bark and/or fruit of certain species in the genus colubrina including colubrina elliptica (also called behuco indio) and colubrina arborescens, a small tree native to the northern caribbean and south florida. recipes usually include other ingredients as well, spices such as aniseed being very common. mauby was traditionally a fermented beverage made in small batches, but is now predominantly a commercial non-fermented soft drink. haiti and the dominican republic are two of the largest caribbean exporters of the bark and leaves. often the drink is fermented using a portion of the previous batch, while sometimes it is consumed unfermented. mauby is often bought as a pre-made syrup and then mixed with water (sparkling or still) to the consumer's taste, but many make it themselves at home or purchase it from neighbourhood producers or street sellers. its taste is initially sweet, somewhat like root beer, but changes to a prolonged, but not astringent bitter aftertaste. to many, it is an acquired taste, and has been known to cause an initial laxative reaction unexpected to many first-time drinkers.

Drink

Milo

Milo ( my-loh; stylised as milo) is a chocolate-flavoured malted powder product produced by nestlé, typically mixed with milk, hot water, or both, to produce a beverage. it was originally developed in australia by thomas mayne in 1934. most commonly sold as a powder in a green can, often depicting various sporting activities, milo is available as a premixed beverage in some countries and has been subsequently developed into a snack bar, breakfast cereal and protein granola. its composition and taste differ from country to country. milo maintains significant popularity in a diverse range of countries throughout the world, particularly in australasia, asia, and africa.

Drink

Peanut punch

Peanut punch is a beverage that is popular in the caribbean. the main ingredients of the drink include peanuts/peanut butter, milk and sugar. however, variations occur whereby regular milk is often replaced or added to a mixture including condensed milk, spices (dominantly nutmeg and cinnamon), corn flakes, angostura bitters, glucose powder and quite often granola mix. the drink is often regarded by some to be an aphrodisiac due to its high fat, protein and overall energy content.in trinidad, it is made with peanut butter, milk, sugar and sometimes spices. rum is sometimes used as an ingredient. it is also available commercially in supermarkets and grocery stores as well to cater those markets. in trinidad and tobago, peanut punch is a popular drink that is often sold on sidewalks or in established food stores. the drink is traditionally marketed as an energy drink and made with a variety of ingredients according to the vendor. in jamaica, peanut punch is made with roasted peanuts, peanut butter, or commercial peanut powder mixes. white rum or stout beer is often added, as well as condensed milk or another sweetener with milk, water, and spices.peanut punch drank is a variation of the official drink inspired by former chicago bears and carolina panthers cb charles tillman, whose nickname is "peanut", and his penchant for punching the ball loose and forcing fumbles. this variation of the original drink adds the additional ingredients of early times (amount varies based on desired strength of the drink and taste) and a splash of pickle juice. the drink was first introduced in 2009, and is a popular drink at tailgates around the chicago area.

Drink

Ponche

The term punch refers to a wide assortment of drinks, both non-alcoholic and alcoholic, generally containing fruits or fruit juice. the drink was introduced from the indian subcontinent to england by employees of the east india company in the late 17th century. punch is usually served at parties in large, wide bowls, known as punch bowls. in the united states, federal regulations provide the word "punch" to describe commercial beverage products that do not contain fruit or fruit juice. the term is used to label artificially flavored beverages, with or without natural flavorings, which do not contain fruit juice or concentrate in significant proportions. thus a product labeled as "fruit punch" may contain no fruit ingredients at all.

Drink

Ponche crema

Ponche crema is a cream-based liqueur that originates in venezuela and was brought to nearby trinidad and tobago who developed their own version, ponche de crème. recipes vary depending on the region, but main ingredients typically include milk, eggs, sugar, rum, and other minor ingredients such as vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, and lemon rind. a variant type is prepared with concentrated liquid coffee or instant coffee powder. however, most references to the ponche crema name aim at a traditional commercial product, available since 1900, whose recipe and manufacturing process are kept secret. ponche crema is a beverage traditionally served during christmas time, much as eggnog is in the united states. it is usually served cold, in small cups, either as an aperitif or a pousse-café. the origin of the recipe for this commercial product could not be determined.

Drink

Rum

Rum is a liquor made by fermenting and then distilling sugarcane molasses or sugarcane juice. the distillate, a clear liquid, is usually aged in oak barrels. rum is produced in nearly every sugar-producing region of the world, such as the philippines, where tanduay is the largest producer of rum globally.rums are produced in various grades. light rums are commonly used in cocktails, whereas "golden" and "dark" rums were typically consumed straight or neat, iced ("on the rocks"), or used for cooking, but are now commonly consumed with mixers. premium rums are made to be consumed either straight or iced. rum plays a part in the culture of most islands of the west indies as well as the maritime provinces and newfoundland, in canada. the beverage has famous associations with the royal navy (where it was mixed with water or beer to make grog) and piracy (where it was consumed as bumbo). rum has also served as a popular medium of economic exchange, used to help fund enterprises such as slavery (see triangular trade), organized crime, and military insurgencies (e.g., the american revolution and australia's rum rebellion).

Drink

Soft drinks

A soft drink (see § terminology for other names) is a drink that usually contains water (often carbonated), a sweetener, and a natural and/or artificial flavoring. the sweetener may be a sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, fruit juice, a sugar substitute (in the case of diet drinks), or some combination of these. soft drinks may also contain caffeine, colorings, preservatives, and/or other ingredients. soft drinks are called "soft" in contrast with "hard" alcoholic drinks. small amounts of alcohol may be present in a soft drink, but the alcohol content must be less than 0.5% of the total volume of the drink in many countries and localities if the drink is to be considered non-alcoholic. types of soft drinks include lemon-lime drinks, orange soda, cola, grape soda, ginger ale, and root beer. soft drinks may be served cold, over ice cubes, or at room temperature. they are available in many container formats, including cans, glass bottles, and plastic bottles. containers come in a variety of sizes, ranging from small bottles to large multi-liter containers. soft drinks are widely available at fast food restaurants, movie theaters, convenience stores, casual-dining restaurants, dedicated soda stores, vending machines, and bars from soda fountain machines. within a decade of the invention of carbonated water by joseph priestley in 1767 inventors in britain and in europe had used his concept to produce the drink in greater quantities, with one such inventor, j. j. schweppe, forming schweppes in 1783 and selling the world's first bottled soft drink. soft drink brands founded in the 19th century include r. white's lemonade in 1845, dr pepper in 1885 and coca-cola in 1886. subsequent brands include pepsi, irn-bru, sprite, fanta and 7 up.

Drink

Long black

A long black is a style of coffee commonly found in australia and new zealand. it is similar to an americano, but with a stronger aroma and taste.a long black is made by pouring a double-shot of espresso or ristretto over hot water. typically about 100 - 120 milliliters of water is used (3.5 - 4 ounces) but the measurement is considered to be flexible to individual taste. the smaller volume of water compared to an americano is responsible for its stronger taste. both retain the crema when brewed properly, though in the long black the crema will be more pronounced.

Drink

Tea

Tea is an aromatic beverage prepared by pouring hot or boiling water over cured or fresh leaves of camellia sinensis, an evergreen shrub native to china, india and other east asian countries. tea is also rarely made from the leaves of camellia taliensis. after water, it is the most widely consumed drink in the world. there are many different types of tea; some have a cooling, slightly bitter, and astringent flavour, while others have vastly different profiles that include sweet, nutty, floral, or grassy notes. tea has a stimulating effect in humans primarily due to its caffeine content.tea plants are native to east asia and probably originated in the borderlands of southwestern china and northern burma. an early credible record of tea drinking dates to the third century ad, in a medical text written by hua tuo. it was popularised as a recreational drink during the chinese tang dynasty, and tea drinking subsequently spread to other east asian countries. portuguese priests and merchants introduced it to europe during the 16th century. during the 17th century, drinking tea became fashionable among the english, who started to plant tea on a large scale in india. the term herbal tea refers to drinks not made from camellia sinensis. they are the infusions of fruit, leaves, or other plant parts, such as steeps of rosehip, chamomile, or rooibos. these may be called tisanes or herbal infusions to prevent confusion with tea made from the tea plant.
