Scientists have decreed that caffeine may help boost brain alertness. Oh, really? Welcome to the latte line! Bless their hearts and ours, however, because they’ve also given caffeine a cardiovascular OK and eased the onetime fear that it’s this big, bad contributor to cancer and osteoporosis. Drink to that! Just do so with something better than a gallon of high-octane energy drink. The amount of caffeine you consume plus how it’s brewed and what ingredients are added matter, too. Here’s what to order.
And if you skip a cup or two of your morning coffee, you leave room in a 300 mg daily caffeine budget for other forms of zing. Allow us to tempt you with 9 coffeehouse-inspired recipes made better the Live Better America Kitchens way.
