O mighty F-list! I need your help for naturally sweet teas to drink as a refreshing no-sweetener option. Or sweetening options that are no sugar, no sugar substitute and (at least for the month of January) no honey or agave. Currently I am very fond of a pomegranate-hibiscus white tea blend that is very fruity and flavorful, good cold or hot. Also a mint green tea thats quite nice. Im looking for options in the black tea, earl gray-ish, that isnt so bitter. Or if I should just learn to enjoy the bitter. This would be for occasional caffeine boost, because coffee is vile without sugar. I am significantly reducing sugar and refined starches in my diet as a permanent lifestyle change. This is something I did 10 years ago for health reasons and lapsed on. So Im repeating the process now. Its beginning with a 4 week purge of all processed carbs. I get whole grain, brown rice, yams and sweet potatoes... and a lot of vegetables and lean meats. Eventually, after the purge that is, I will re-introduce honey as a sweetener and limited sugars on very special occasions, and relax the rice issue for whole grain basmati (but still avoid white flour). This is not a diet, this is a lifestyle change. One I did before and lapsed on, so I know its something I can do with the support and understanding of my friends.
