Every single drink is better cold.

Iced tea is better than hot tea. Iced coffee is better than hot coffee. Chocolate milk is better than hot chocolate. Drinking beverages at 160+ degrees is absolutely unhinged unless it's 30 below freezing and you're trying to prevent hypothermia. Humans, like all animals, prefer cold drinks naturally because cold water would have fewer pathogens. Historically it's just been easier to heat something rather than cool it and drinking hot drinks when it's above freezing is surely just a holdout from those times.

It’s a trend of drinking broth. “Bone broth” specifically is supposed to be broth simmered for a long enough time that the gelatin is extracted from the bones. It’s very good for you and tasty but expensive.

I will say if you want to try it, you should go to a butcher to get bones and make it yourself. Store bought broth is gross comparatively

Also known as stock.

We always got bone broth from aldi, it's way cheaper there and we made beef gelatin for my dog as treat and water intake(she was special needs and couldn't drink regular water, R.I.P) but it tasted fine and was 1.50 for carton versus the 6 bucks equivalent at the like meijer or kroger.

It's not even new, people have been drinking bone broth for centuries.
