In my opinion, green tea, if you like it. It is full of anti-oxidants, and helps your body prevent cancer cells from developing in some way among other things. I do enjoy one or two cups each day, especially in winter months at night while watching movies on TV.
In winter months I do drink room temperature water (not warm or hot). But during summer months, it is as cold as I can get it. I guess I am too old to change on this particular matter, hot water gives me the runs too.

I do know that it is healthier than warm water for the reasons Happy XP said, but i just cannot stand the taste or even the smell of it even though my chinese friends try their best to pour it down mythroat.
