Thank goodness for Mint Tea~



Recommended Posts

So, fighting off the flu. Everyone at work has been getting it. I have the very early stages of it for the last couple days. Hoarse voice. A little bit of a cough with wheezing and just a tad bit of phlegm in my chest. Sitting at work, drinking mint tea. Why am I so thankful for Mint Tea? It is one of the few that I can drink WITHOUT sugar or honey!

Just curious... for those who like to sweeten their teas... what other teas do you like when you DON'T sweeten them? I do not want to use Stevia or artificial sweeteners.

I don't sweeten teas, either, but there are a lot of good ones that don't really need it ANYWAY. Tazo has a line of "dessert teas" that are kind of sweet on their own. And there are ginger teas. I got a really good one last winter that had a lot of spices in it - cinnamon, ginger, etc - I'll see if I can find it. That was really great on its own, too.

Also great are Celestial Seasonings mixes- peach passion, black cherry etc.. you don't even miss sweetness that much.

I LOVE TEA...NO SUGAR NEEDED, EVER FOR ME. I drink a lot of Trader Joe's teas, Pomegranate and white tea, Peppermint, Green Tea, a night time tea blend.

My non-Trader Joe's teas are various. I don't like orange flavored tea. Celestial peach, lemon, Chamomile. Tazo Passion tea is good hot or cold, if you drink it cold mix a lemonade Crystal light or drink mix with it over ice.

When I want a sweet treat, I mix hot and warm black tea with a vanilla premier shake. It's like having a British tea with sweet cream, no sugar needed and you get a serving of Protein.

I have more ideas, but it really depends on your tea preference.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
