Healthier in-between drink
Infuusa
THERE are only two types of drinks people bring to spin class, observes product designer by day and fitness instructor by night Ng Wei Lieh: plain water and energy drinks. The former is a little plain for those who want a bit of kick in their workout drink, and the latter is unnecessary. "It's like driving a Ferrari to the supermarket just to do grocery shopping," he says. "You burn about 300-400 calories in a one-hour spin class, but you're consuming 200 calories from one bottle of energy drink - and it's full of chemicals."
So the 39-year-old decided to come up with a healthier in-between. He first started experimenting with cold-brewed teas - teas made by steeping them in room temperature water for two to 12 hours - which results in a smoother and sweeter taste, and retains more antioxidants, but the wait time proved too impractical his busy lifestyle.
