Why you can't drink coffee and tea on the plane: the "secret" of flight attendants will unpleasantly surprise
Many of us can't imagine our morning without a refreshing cup of coffee. This miracle drink will be just right if you expect a long morning flight. But not everyone knows that the flight attendants, who offer their passengers a drink, do not drink tea or coffee themselves. You should think carefully before ordering a fragrant Lavazza or a refreshing carcade tea too.

"Coffee and tea are made from tap water, which comes from specials taps. If you want coffee, buy it at the terminal and take it with you. If you need a caffeine boost, ask for Coca-Cola or Pepsi," advised flight attendant Sue Fogwell, who has 22 years of flight attendant experience.
Never give young children tea on board. Buy bottled water for them or take a drink from home. Experts also strongly recommend avoiding hot drinks for people with a weakened immune system.
