An Experiment to Make Tea Colorless

A Japanese blogger explained an interesting experiment to make your tea transparent and colorless. It looks harmless and you may find new tasty drink. Here's how you can do that.

1. Prepare "Gogo-no-Kocha(Afternoon tea), straight taste" from Kirin Beverage and "Lemon Water" from House Wellness. If you live in the US, just go to MITSUWA market or NIJIYA market and grab them.
2. Pour "Gogo-no-Kocha" into a cup.
3. Pour "Lemon Water" into the same cup.

Now you will see the tea goes colorless. The author explained that's because the pigment of the tea, theaflavins, became colorless when it was acidified. If you pour alkaline material, it reverts to the original color. I guess you can do the same by using the other kind of tea and acid drink. If you don't have enough money to buy tea and lemon, just watch the video below.
