And the same for milk!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
warm water had minerals that change in flavor from the cold water! It is a different taste!.

Milk is a habit!! We are used to drinking ice cold milk!. So we think it tastes better!.

Any one up for British attitude toward tea!?!? My great aunt never had an ice cube in her house!! Same for beer! Most Europeans drink it at room temperature, where as Americans want it to be nearly freezing!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's a personal prefrence, some people like warm milk!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Very good question!.!.!.Im guessing its because when u need a drink its due to slight dehydration and that u r warm/hot so the cold temperature feels more refreshing!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's refreshing when your mouth is usually 96 degrees to cool off and flush out once in a while!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Your taste for water hot/cold was developed from childhood!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

maybe because our bodies may get a bit dehydrated every once in awhile, which can also mean that our body temperature is too warm!? So therefore we enjoy cold water and drinks because it refreshes us and perhaps lower our body temp!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Maybe it's in our taste buds!. Would be interesting for you to research!.

I think if you were freezing cold you'd change your mind about cold water tasting better than warmWww@FoodAQ@Com

cause thats the life baybayWww@FoodAQ@Com

dunno why but your right it doesWww@FoodAQ@Com

I think the Hot water tank (30 - 40 - 50 gals)
just setting there at 100oF might enter into flavor!.!.!.

That is IF you are,, saying,, a glass of tap water cold and from the hot,, that is just warm!.!.

Otherwise WE do not know your standard for this test!.!.
water,, H2O,,, has no color,, taste or smellWww@FoodAQ@Com

Its more refreshing that way!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

You run the water longer to get it cold!. When you get warm water it has been sitting in the pipes in your house picking up sediment that is in the pipes!. So you are tasting "old" water as opposed to when you run the water for the cold you are purging the old water from the pipes before you fill your glass!. You should always run the water until you feel a temperature change (either hot or cold) if you want to make sure you are getting the freshest water--most important if you have lead solder in your pipes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

For me, I think its because it is just more refreshing, and I guess im not used to drinking warm water or milk!. I guess some people would prefer it warm thoughWww@FoodAQ@Com

milk tastes better when warm!. as to water, i guess cos it's supossed to quench ur thirst and refresh as well!. i don't know!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
