What is Loaded Tea?
Loaded tea, also known as boosted tea, is a drink made up of tea, caffeine additives, supplements, and vitamins. As the name implies, it is meant to be loaded with ingredients that can deliver claimed health benefits like enhanced performance and mental clarity or boost metabolism and hunger suppression.
In recent years, loaded teas have become increasingly popular on social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok. With how visually appealing they are, it is no surprise why these "energy drinks" are a big trend these days.
While many recipes call for a specific tea concentrate, there are many different ways to make your loaded tea. We'll be using Waka's instant tea powder.
