Camille's Comments:  
It's hot!  102 F in San Antonio today!  Too hot for hot tea?  No way!  

Middle Easterners are well-known for drinking hot tea, and it's one of the hottest climates in
the world.  Walk into a bazaar in Turkey, no matter the time of year, and you are offered a hot
cup of tea. The Japanese also drink hot tea in hot weather; you can buy it from street
vendors on steamy days.

Why do people drink hot tea in the heat?  Because it's good!  Some say that a hot drink
keeps your internal temperature more closely related to the external temperature and helps
you to regulate your body temperature better, and some studies show that
body-temperature liquids quench your thirst more quickly because they enter your system
faster if they are closer to your body's temperature.  

Still not convinced?  Put your tea on ice!  
Hibiscus is a particularly good iced tea, and it's full
of Vitamin C.
