Hello, today while making cold brewed coffee I wondered, does black coffee and hot tea have any calories? What about vanilla extract? Also what is everyone's favorite morning drinks?

    Depending on how strong it is, black coffee has between 2 - 5 calories per cup, generally speaking. Unsweetened tea also has less than 5 calories, assuming you're not drinking by the gallon. Vanilla extract is roughly 38 calories a teaspoon.

    My general morning drink is a quad Americano with whipped cream, for roughly 89 calories. I consider them necessary calories, and make them fit.

    Thanks for the replies! I like cold brewed coffee with 8 oz of 1% milk with a drop of vanilla extract!

    I live in the PNW part of the US and coffee is something I drink frequently throughout the day since it's kinda part of the culture here...so I think it's nessesary to log. My regular evening cup of black tea has no calories in it, but when I have senna tea I log it since it contains 2 calories each. I think if you have more than one cup a day it's beneficial to log it.

    I have coffee with skim milk or almond milk (unsweetened) and I sprinkle some cinnamon, has great health benefits and controls blood sugar :)

    I enjoy green/black tea throughout the day.

    I take two cups of coffee in the morning, each with one packet of sweet'n'low, and 1/2 cup of skim milk in each. When I was losing weight I used almond milk, but I really prefer to just buy one milk that the whole family can drink.

    Does the cinnamon float on top or does it incorporate into the rest of your coffee?

    Cinnamon usually floats on top or sometimes clumps up and sinks to the bottom if I sprinkle too much. When I make coffee at home in my espresso pot, sometimes I throw some cinammon, turmeric, or tea masala in there. That way none of the powder makes it to my cup of coffee. I usually have 1 tablespoon of half and half and a teeny bit of sugar or preferably maple syrup to sweeten.
