解辣飲品選哪種？
吃辣是一種挑戰，有人會不知不覺間越吃越辣，但每家食店的辣度不一樣，不少人總有「被辣到」的經驗，想解辣你會選擇甚麼飲品呢？
1. 冰水
不少人第一時間就想到灌冰水來解辣，飲完一大杯冰水之後，辛辣感好像消失了，咦等一等，辛辣感怎麼又回來了？原來辣椒素是疏水性分子，喝冰水根本沒有帶走辣椒素，難怪辣感來回又折返人間。

2. 酸梅湯
有沒有發現麻辣火鍋店飲品一欄都會賣酸梅湯、烏梅汁？酸味有生津止渴的功效，正好對應麻辣火鍋的的燥熱，以酸對辣亦能中和酸鹼度。

3. 甜味飲品
用甜味對抗辣味也是一個方法，甜味可以中和辣味，所以飲汽水、果汁也可以適度解辣。

4. 牛奶
牛奶中的酪蛋白可以稀釋辣椒素的濃度，甚至吸附並溶解辣椒素，所以如果吃到嘴巴噴火，可以喝杯牛奶解救辣到腫脹的嘴巴。

Drinks to relieve burning sensation from spiciness
Eating spicy food can be challenging, as we might continue to consume them, not knowing the spiciness can gradually intensify. Moreover, different foot outlets will offer dishes at different levels of spiciness, to the extent that experiencing the burning sensation on our tongue becomes unavoidable. Under such circumstances, which beverage will you choose to reduce the effect?
1. Ice water
Ice water seems to be the first option that comes to our mind after eating spicy food. Downing a glass of ice water seems to work fine at first, but lo and behold, the effect is rather temporary! This is because the capsaicin that causes the spiciness is hydrophobic, and will not be ‘washed away’ easily.
2. Sour plum soup
Have you noticed drinks like sour plum soup and smoked plum juice are often served in mala hotpot restaurants? The sour taste helps with the secretion of saliva and quenches one’s thirst; hence it is a remedy to beat the heat of the mala hotpot. The sour taste can also neutralise the pH level of the spicy food.
3. Sweet desserts
Eating sweet desserts can be helpful in combating spiciness in our mouth, as the sweet taste neutralises the spicy effect. Hence, drinking an appropriate amount of carbonated soda drinks or fruit juice can be a good choice.
4. Milk
The casein in milk is capable of dwarfing the strength of capsaicin, as this particular protein can attach itself onto capsaicin and subsequently dissolve it. If you feel like you are about to spew flame after consuming spicy food, drinking a glass of milk will help sooth your swollen mouth.
