Green tea: Green tea has health benefits and the color matches the C logo. Brew 2 bags of green tea.
Honey: A teaspoon of honey will sweeten the tea and help you associate the taste with C concepts. Honey is a healthier sugar alternative.
Lemon: Squeeze half a lemon into the tea. The sourness and citrusy flavor will make the drink more memorable and stimulating for studying.
Ginger: Grate a small knob of fresh ginger into the tea. Ginger has natural stimulant properties that can keep you focused while studying.
Instructions:
Brew 2 bags of green tea in 8 ounces of hot water for 3-5 minutes.
Remove the tea bags and squeeze in the juice from half a lemon.
Add 1 teaspoon of honey and stir to dissolve.
Grate about 1/2 inch of fresh ginger into the tea and stir.
Strain the tea through a fine mesh strainer to remove ginger particles.
Drink the tea while studying C programming. Every time you take a sip, recall a C concept you are learning to further cement the association.
The combination of tastes, aromas and natural stimulants in this healthy "C drink" can help imprint C syntax, functions and concepts into your memory through repeated association with the flavor each time you study.
