Tea

  1. Boil filtered cold water into sufuria (for Maragoli atleast the sufuria of 20 cups)

  2. Put 2 full teaspoons into tea pot

  3. Pour filtered tea into tea cups

You can add a small amount of muguka as spice if you like

Drink slowly with boiled sweet potatoes or
Cassava. Thank me later

…Sande sana

-Cool the tea before drinking.

Tea should not be drank while steaming hot. Drinking very hot tea is a risk factor for throat cancer.

Any rink or evidence

Poesha chai yako na jug uki puliza pole pole bila kusumbuana :smiley:

And don’t make that slurping sound while sippin

naskia chemicals used in tea growing areas make the correlation with hot tea seem plausible.

[SIZE=7]Reports; ‘Hot Tea’ The major cause of Throat cancers in Western Kenya[/SIZE]

Kenyans drink the hottest tea ever recorded anywhere and risking throat cancer, warns a study at Tenwek Hospital in Bomet County.

The study shows people in Western Kenya, a region with high rates of throat or food pipe cancer, prefer their tea at temperatures exceeding 72°C, the highest recorded so far.

The study published in the June 2019 issue of Cancer Epidemiology Journal showed Kenyans to have their tea hotter than people in other regions with high incidents of throat cancer.

It compared the temperatures at which Kenyans drink their tea and found it higher than in Tanzania, Brazil, China, Germany, US, Iran and UK — areas of high throat cancers.

But now a study published on Wednesday in the International Journal of Cancer, found that people who drank more than three cups of tea at a temperature over 140 degrees Fahrenheit increased their risk of developing squamous cell esophageal cancer by about 90 percent. This type of cancer affects the cells lining the esophagus and causes them to replicate uncontrollably.

Esophageal cancer risk higher in people who drink really hot beverages: Study - ABC News

They’re speculating that high temperatures cause thermal injury and tissue damage, and that the risk is the highest in people who smoke and/or drink alcohol.

This thread has suddenly changed from discussing tea to causes of cancer

Niaje kamami, IMO, this kind of journalism/reporting is sensational. It’s just speculation that high temperatures cause thermal injury and tissue damage. It’s the temperature, NOT tea. Meaning any drink consumed hot can cause esophageal cancer. There is no reference to any
reputable medical journal to support this claim. This news, therefore, ought to be treated as alarmist and ignored as such.

That is a news report, do you have any scientific studies other than mere speculations? This is low quality reference given that you are a nurse.

All this information is widely available online for your browsing pleasure. I probably wouldn’t dismiss the findings as alarmist just yet.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the agency that the American Cancer Society relies on for guidance on carcinogenic risk, has listed hot beverages as probable carcinogens. To give you an idea, formaldehyde is also listed as a probable carcinogen.

Deciding what’s a carcinogen is based on lab studies and epidemiological data. Hot beverages would fall under Group 2A which means the evidence is compelling but not felt to be conclusive.
When the evidence is conclusive, the exposure or substance is labeled as a carcinogen. When there is limited evidence that is far from being conclusive, the exposure or substance may be labeled as a possible carcinogen.
