Resolution of the day: Drink more tea

Specifically, a red tea latte. Why? Red tea is the new green tea. Red tea means rooibos, which is naturally caffeine-free and slightly sweet. It can help ease headaches, depression, sleeping problems, mild tension and digestive issues. Yep, it's a cure-all drink.
The yummiest way to sip it is in latte or cappuccino form. You can find them at Janine's Coffehouse, quite possibly the coolest hangout in the North Loop. (Insiders will tell you the owner's name actually is Janna.)
Our preferred red tea latte preparation: Sweetened with a little honey and topped off with a dash of nutmeg.
For the record, Starbucks is debuting a similar drink after New Year's. So now's your chance to be ahead of the haute hot beverage trend. You'll be seeing red, but in a good way, we promise.


Red latte, available at Janine's Coffeehouse, 119 N. First St., Mpls, 612-630-5188.
