I’ve always been a big tea drinker. Loose leaf, bagged, and even pre-made blends are all a part of my Southern diet! Heck, I even featured vintage teapots filled with flowers at my wedding reception and personalized tea bags were my favors! (You might say that I’m a tea lover). With the New Year in full swing, I’m trying to stick to reducing the sugars in my diet. But that’s not easy for a Southern tea drinker like me. Hot or cold, I like it sweet! Challenging myself to find other options is always easy if I feel pampered or have a special project, so what better than a hot tea bar with alternatives to my sugar?
I spoke with my OB, and she said that a stevia-leaf, natural sweetener is a good choice for me, and I am very happy to have a natural, smarter substitute as I reduce my sugars. I also learned that Truvia lets you try their product before you buy it! How many products are open to that kind of customer service?
How to make the perfect Earl Gray tea:
Yay for saving calories. I usually sweeten my teas with honey!
Totally an option. I’ve been known to go through a bottle in a week if I’m sick!
I love Earl Gray tea and it would be delicious with Truvia, I’m sure! #client
Come on over, I’ll make you a cup! 🙂
I’m not a huge tea drinker but there are definitely times that call for tea and I’m happy to participate in those!!! I had no idea the string & tag were taboo! 😉
I didn’t either for a long time, but the purists swear by removing them!
Truvia is my favorite. I use it in my coffee every morning.
I love having the little packets back in house!
I would never have thought that Truvia would have been approved by your OB that is GREAT to know. I love tea too all kinds. I really love English Breakfast Tea. One of my favs. I use my Keurig for boiling water too! It is just SO much faster.
