I already drink hot water, Chinese habits :)

Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm often doing intensive and effective work while I'm drinking hot water! Don't know if there is a real correlation here.

Depending on your diet and sodium tolerance, broth can be a good alternative to coffee. I'm on a ketogenic diet (high fat, moderate protein, very-low carbs), so I have a few extra mg of sodium to play with, but I've tried stretches of replacing morning coffee with hot chicken broth and it is exactly as pleasant, without the caffeine ups and downs.

Do you make it yourself? I'm lactose intolerant and I was trying to find ways to get calcium, apparently broth is a good way.
