What it does

-
Helps you feel less tired. Caffeine helps you feel less tired, first thing in the morning or in the middle of the afternoon.
-
Helps you focus. Caffeine helps you concentrate on what you are doing.
-
A little quicker. Caffeine can make your reaction time slightly faster.
-
Steady on long tasks. Caffeine can help you stay alert during long, repetitive work, like paperwork or studying. It does not replace sleep.

How to make it
-
Scoop. One teaspoon into a bowl or mug.
