sweetener question

I've become addicted to hot teas recently, but I don't like the taste of sweeteners. Is honey an ok alternative? Are there any bad things about using honey?
Thanks for the help!

If you try different flavors a lot of teas taste good just by itself. I think honey is fine though if you account for the calories.0

I sometimes use honey - bonus is - if you buy and use honey made in the area where you live - it can also help reduce pollen allergies etc. Have you tried Splenda as a sweetener - it is made from cane sugar I think and for me - has no aftertaste. I also use Stevia or Agave to sweeten foods - use a teeny bit as they are both super sweet natural plant extracts.0

Honey is good for energy. In small amounts its really good for you. I use stevia drops. It last a long time and you can get it from GNC for about 18.00 bucks. Pricy but only takes a few drops.0

Maybe try an addition rather than a sweetener. Try cardamon or anise in your tea. Honey is ~ok.
In the past, I tried Agave syrup, but that was before I found out that it's worse than table sugar.

THanks everybody! I'll look into the Stavia, i'm just very sensitive to the flavor of most sweeteners, so i'll have to find out what it tastes like.0

I switched from Splenda to Stevia and I don't mind the taste at all.0
