你爱喝奶茶吗

Tea is a versatile beverage that can suit many moods. You have a gentle lavender flavored tea for night time, the strong Earl Grey for cold early mornings, and the clean greens for the everyday. Yes, there is no doubt that tea is an attractive beverage. In fact, the Tea Association claims tea is the world's second most widely consumed drink after water. Considering it's popularity, we can't help but wonder, how many calories are in our favorite teas?

茶是一种多功能饮料，可以适应多种情绪。晚上喝一杯温和的薰衣草茶，寒冷的清晨喝一杯浓烈的伯爵茶，每天喝一杯干净的绿色茶。是的，毫无疑问，茶是一种很有吸引力的饮料。事实上，茶叶协会声称，茶是世界上仅次于水的第二大消费饮料。考虑到它的受欢迎程度，我们不禁要问，我们最喜欢的茶中含有多少卡路里呢?

If you prefer your tea in its simplest form, then you are in luck. According to Healthline, a cup of plain tea, (black, green, or white) is around two calories per cup. And not only is it extremely low in calories, but it has caffeine and polyphenol antioxidants which have been linked to aiding in weight loss, reducing the risk of chronic disease, and improving heart health. Sounds like perfect health in a cup right? Perhaps, but be aware. With additions comes calories.

如果你只喜欢简简单单的茶，那你就幸运了。根据Healthline的说法，一杯普通茶(红茶、绿茶或白茶)每杯大约有两卡路里。它不仅热量极低，而且还含有咖啡因和多酚类抗氧化剂，这些抗氧化剂有助于减肥、降低慢性病风险和改善心脏健康。听起来很健康，对吧?也许吧，但请注意。添加食物会带来卡路里。

Twinnings tells us that tea made in its most natural form has two ingredients: the leaves from the Camellia Sinensis plant and hot water. No wonder why it is so low in calories. It's when you add milk, sugar, or other flavorings that the calories increase and the health benefits of your steaming cup may suffer. Popular milk teas are made by combining equal parts steeped tea to equal parts milk. Healthline tells us that one cup of a milk tea made with this one to one ratio of black tea and whole milk is 75 calories. And then comes the sugar! Every teaspoon of tea added to your tea adds 16 calories.

Twinings告诉我们，以最自然的形式制成的茶有两种成分：茶树的叶子和热水。难怪它的卡路里这么低。当你加入牛奶、糖或其他调味品时，热量就会增加，而你手中热气腾腾的杯子的健康益处可能会受损。倍受欢迎的奶茶是将等量的浸泡茶与等量的牛奶混合制成的。Healthline告诉我们，一杯红茶和全脂牛奶的比例为1:1的奶茶含有75卡路里的热量。然后是糖!每加一茶匙糖就会增加16卡路里。

Just like all other products, tea goes through trends. And most recently, the U.S. has seen a trend in the skyrocketing availability of bubble tea. Bubble tea is an iced tea that has layers of Tapioca balls at the bottom. It is originally from Taiwan, and according to Eat This, Not That a classic bubble milk tea has 212 calories and 37 grams of sugar. Kelly Choi, author of The 7-Day Flat-Belly Tea Cleanse, warns us about the downsides of this tea drink. "It's not good for you at all, though," says Choi. "It has so much sugar. But people like it because it's kinda fun to drink and it's not like they're drinking soda."

就像所有其他产品一样，茶叶也有流行趋势。最近，在美国，珍珠奶茶的供应出现了暴涨的趋势。珍珠奶茶是一种凉茶，底部有几层木薯球。据Eat This, Not That网站报道，它原产自台湾，一款经典的珍珠奶茶含有212卡路里的热量和37克的糖。Kelly Choi是《The 7-Day Flat-Belly Tea Cleanse》一书的作者，她提醒我们这种茶饮的弊端。“不过，这对你一点好处都没有，”崔说。“它的糖太多了。但人们喜欢它，因为它很有趣，而且不像在喝苏打水。”
