Tea Sweetener Alternatives – the Perfect Complement
Hey people! There’s a lot of press about there about how healthy tea is, listing off all the health benefits, but let’s never forget the best reason to drink tea—it tastes delicious!
So with that in mind, I wanted to tell you guys about alternatives to boring old sugar. Most people don’t know that there are choices—they think that if you want your tea sweeter, sugar is all that’s out there. Not true! So how about these alternatives?
Turbinado Sugar Shot
Sugar can be a hassle. Unless you put it in the tea at the same time as the boiling water, or melt it down into a liquid first, you can end up with little sugar bits at the bottom and nothing in the tea itself. If this drives you as crazy as it does me, you ought to consider going with the turbinado. It’s healthy, pure, all-natural liquid cane sugar without all the calories. Try it in small doses, because it’s extra sweet!
Honey
With its own distinctive flavor, honey has long been a favorite way to sweeten tea without leaving any of that annoying sugar residue. Honey Bear Honey is available in several flavors to fit your different moods, like clover, raspberry, lemon, or cinnamon.
If you’re looking for a honey that specializes in raspberry specifically, you should try Savannah Bee’s Raspberry Honey, which will take away the need to actually have a dessert after dinner—cause this will be it!
Amanzi also offers an Orange Blossom Honey that has its own unique, citrus-y flavor. Mmmm!
If you like honey in your tea but don’t always have a spoon around, Honey Stix are a life saver! Use these sticks to swirl your tea, and watch the honey melt into your cup! Perfect for taking your tea with you on the road or just about anywhere else!
Agave Stix are just what they sound like—sticks made of agave syrup, a certified organic alternative to honey. It tastes sweet but is not as strong s sugar. Diabetics can enjoy it as well.
I love the taste of tea alone, of course, but sometimes I want a little extra. All these treats will make your tea taste even better. I suggest having several of these in your pantry so you can go with whatever suits you at that moment. You could even use more than one. Because making decisions can be hard! So why bother?
