The country is currently in the midst of a milk tea craze and for good reason! More than just a trend, milk tea actually bestows upon its drinker the benefits of various ingredients such as milk, tea, and its array of toppings. With all its awesome and tasty components, milk tea is definitely a delicious way to perk up one’s mood.

With over 50 shops throughout the country and an extensive menu which includes snacks, it’s easy to find a Serenitea close by to unwind and get a breather from manic Monday.

Iced Tea

For those who don’t drink coffee and are not exactly fond of indulgent milk tea drinks, iced tea is great way to feel refreshed, calmed, and soothed especially on a hot and sunny Monday. However, the local market is often saturated with sweetened and processed iced teas.

Good thing for the on-the-go and health conscious folks, a newcomer in the form of Lick Iced Tea is now available in select cafés, restaurants, groceries, supermarkets, hotels, and even online. Sweetened naturally using Stevia and encased in a glass bottle, Lick Iced Tea boasts of a bolder, crisper, and healthier drink that comes in flavors such as Giant Apple Tea, Southern Sweet Peach, Sicilian Lemon, Huckle Berry, and Raspberry.

Hangover Remedy

For those who love to party, getting out of bed on Monday can be extra challenging. With the copious amount of alcohol that one may have consumed over the weekend, the body needs help to recuperate. And here’s where hangover remedies come in handy.

Take for example, Morning Power, an anti-hangover drink that combats the dreaded hang-over by activating liver-helping enzymes, ADH and ALDH by 30% more. Morning Power can be ingested 30 minutes before drinking alcohol, before going to sleep after a bout of heavy drinking, and the morning after drinking. It can also be used as a chaser or mixed with other drinks and cocktails.
