Sip a Hot Drink

From a young age, everyone learns how relaxing it can be to curl up with a cup of hot tea and coca. A lot of people have a strong liking of drinking very hot beverages such as the Japanese and Chinese. But exactly, how hot is too hot?

Remember it is not the beverage, it is the temperature.
