Does anyone know about sodas and caffeine? I've decided to cut down on my soda intake (if you've seen my food charts, you'll see diet Coke on there).

But if I'm going to cut down on diet soda, I do want something sweet to take its place. Besides flavored water, which I've already started drinking.

    Try spearmint tea, you can buy it or make it from your own spearmint plant - and since spearmint is naturally sweet but doesn't have that weird cold feeling that peppermint does it doesn't need much sugar/splenda/agave/honey/whatever to taste good.

    [EDIT] Oops! I forgot you were looking for caffeine! You can make the same tea with green tea as well. OR, you can look into making toddy iced coffee - it's very easy and can be made very cheaply - and when you make it right it doesn't need very much (or sometimes even ANY) sweetener or cream.
