yakult – Jellybeans in the City

In recent years, sparkling water, commonly referred to as carbonated water or soda water, has gained popularity as a healthy alternative to sugary soft beverages. Sparkling water has several health advantages that can make it a perfect addition to your diet in addition to its refreshing and effervescent taste.

Not only does sparkling water help you stay hydrated, it also helps to improve digestion and aids in weight loss.

Plus, thanks to Chi Forest, sparkling water is now available in delicious flavors such as Calamansi Lime, White Peach and Lychee Fizzy, making this healthy beverage even more appealing.

However, did you know that Chi Forest sparkling water can be added to cocktails? For instance, this Yakult Vodka Cocktail is made more refreshing and flavorsome with the addition of Chi Forest Lychee Fizzy.

Here are some more reasons why Chi Forest sparkling water is a welcome addition to your favorite cocktails:

Adds Fizz and Refreshment. It adds a refreshing and bubbly fizz to cocktails that can help to balance out stronger flavors in the drink. This carbonation can also help to open up the flavors of other ingredients in the cocktail.

Low-Calorie Option. As it is generally low in calories and sugar compared to other mixers, such as fruit juice or tonic water, Chi Forest sparkling water is a great option for those looking to cut down on calories while still enjoying a delicious cocktail.

Versatile Flavors. Chi Forest sparkling water comes in a variety of different flavors which add a touch of fruity sweetness or a zesty zing to your cocktails without adding extra calories or sugar.

Enhances Aromas. It can enhance the aromas of other ingredients in the cocktail. For example, using Chi Forest Calamansi Lime in a gin and tonic can help to bring out the citrus notes in the gin.

Perfect for Mocktails. Chi Forest sparkling water can be a great option for those who don’t drink alcohol, as it adds flavor and fizz to mixed drinks without the need for alcohol. This makes it a great option for parties or gatherings where there may be guests who don’t drink or lightweights like me.

So the next time you’re planning a cocktail party, be sure to stock your bar with Chi Forest sparkling water. It’s available at Robinsons Supermarket, The Marketplace, Shopwise, LCC, Shopee Mall and LazMall and other leading supermarkets in the metro.

Guilt-free refreshment with Chi Forest sparkling water

The Pinoy’s fascination for all kinds of teas is going strong and is showing no signs of waning. Case in point: the proliferation of tea joints all over the metro and beyond.

One such joint is the newly-opened branch of Yi Fang Taiwan Fruit Tea along Tomas Morato. The latest of this chain’s stores to set up shop in Quezon City, its opening day was marked by long lines of customers (including riders from food delivery services).

Taiwan is the birthplace of the milk tea. It was invented in Tainan and Taichung in the 1980s where it was dubbed the boba milk tea. Years later, fruit flavors are incorporated into the drinks, giving rise to fruit teas.

Yi Fang had its roots in the early 20th century Taiwan during the Japanese occupation of the country. Chen-Jen, developed cold drinks from overripe pineapples so that her husband working in the fields will have something to soothe his thirst. Chen-Jen´s nickname is Yi Fang, a name which her grandson adopted as the brand which inherited her fruit tea recipes and methods.

Yi Fang is notable for its brown sugar pearls – tapioca balls cooked and served in brown sugar syrup. These chewy and yummy pearls give the concoctions such as the Brown Sugar Pearl Tea Latte (Php120) a sweet and somewhat toasty taste.

It has also innovated on its tea mixtures through its Yakult series, drinks enriched in both nutrition and flavor with the probiotic milk beverage. The Yakult Pineapple Green Tea (Php120), for example, benefits from an added tanginess and creamy mouthfeel.

Want to skip the hassle and the long lines? Order online and just arrange for a quick pickup anytime from 11am to 11pm. You may also course your order through Honestbee or Grab Food Delivery.

Update: I recently joined my officemates in ordering a Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Tea (Php120) via Grab Food Delivery. I loved its creamy milk tea and chewy black pearls. Sugar level at 50% is just right because the brown sugar syrup is quite sweet already.
