Coke, Sprite, or milk tea? Do you know what drinks the ancients drank?

Coke, Sprite, and a variety of milk teas are all familiar drinks.

In the summer, the weather is hot, at this time, if you come to a bottle of ice drink, look up "tons of tons and tons of tons..." it is really doubly refreshing and cool!

With the increasing improvement of people's living standards, a variety of drinks are also emerging in an endless stream, well-known in foreign countries such as Coke and Pepsi Cola, Wang Laoji and Jianlibao in China, as well as farmer orchards, Master Kang herbal tea and so on... Oh yes, and milk tea all over the streets, which is essential, a favorite of teenage girls.

That said, who invited you to drink your first cup of milk tea this fall?

Now back to the topic, what drinks did the ancient people drink? During the Qin and Han dynasties, people most often drank honey water. Well, it's water mixed with honey. Honey water is nothing, but the drinking method is a bit exquisite, it is chilled.

In the Tang Dynasty, the economy prospered, and people began to develop a variety of drinks, which were called "drinks" at that time. Most of them are made from fruits or some Chinese herbs, which can be said to be the earliest herbal tea.

Li Qingzhao, a talented woman we know well, once developed a famous beverage - white cardamom cooked water, white cardamom and water together fried foam, the material is pure natural, but also has health care functions.

During the Yuan Dynasty, it is said that Kublai Khan liked to drink lemonade the most. In the Next Period, people's tastes began to change, what herbal tea or something can no longer satisfy people's appetite, they began to squeeze juice, they called fruit and vegetable drinks "thirsty water". Well, it's easy to understand, thirsty water to drink!

During the Qing Dynasty, there was a new type of drink called "Dutch water", which is the soda we often drink now. I wonder if the name came from the Netherlands?

"Dutch water" was introduced to China from the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, and soon became a high-grade drink on the banquet table of the dignitaries and nobles.
