trying to have no sugar in tea

lulalacroix

I love milk and sugar in my tea. I have slowly lowered the amount of sugar to 1/2 tsp from about 2 tsp. Personally I would never use a substitute because I love the sugar in my tea. I just log it in the morning for the whole day so I always have the calories for it.

Try different flavors.
I like mint or apple cinnamon best.

i usually have a sweetener or sugar in tea, i've gone cold turkey this week but i'm really not enjoying it. i realise it may take a while but i love my tea so am missing enjoying the drink.

Do you have any advice or tips?

Drink different tea.

You wouldn't want to put any sort of sweetener into a rooibos chai tea, that would make it way too sweet. Even a lemon ginger is just fine without sweetening.

Sorry i should have said that it's not a calorie thing really, but i do think that sweeteners make you crave sweet things and i have wanted to cut sugar/sweeteners out for a while now.

Wouldn't cutting out sweet things make you crave them even more?

Careful you're not doing this just for puritanical reasons. There is such a mass hysteria about sugar these days.

I had the same problem, I love sugar in tea! But then a light bulb went off in my head, why not switch tea. And so I did. I found a tea that taste great without sugar. - There are hundreds of tea's on the market and many of them taste great without sugar.

I enjoy several flavored teas with no sugar. Right now I'm loving Peach, and Raspberry by Bigelow (?). I also love Peppermint White Chocolate tea with no extra sweetener from Teavana. They are not super dark and that helps a lot.

Peppermint White Chocolate is heaven!!
