I've never had it in tea yet but I do drink a VitaminWater with it...

VitaminWater

blue agave-passion fruit-citrus

Can't say that I can pick out any appreciable flavor but the drink is good.

According to Wikipedia, "Agave nectar is sweeter than honey, though less viscous.

Agave nectars are sold in light, amber, dark, and raw varieties. Light agave nectar has a mild, almost neutral flavor, and is therefore sometimes used in delicate-tasting dishes and beverages."

Sounds like it's definitely worth a try.

Have you tried it yet, sirloot?

No, is it good? Stevia is another sweetener for tea and things...

Yerba Mate this morning...

Now, a cup of Earl Grey.

Wow, just had a really nice cup of Tulsi (Holy basil) tea. Now i mixed it with honey and milk and it was not too dissimilar from a chai but with the added medicinal benefits. I like it. I hear you can make a nasal snuff out of it if you have a cold too. Check it out, it's all over youtube and the web.

I just picked up a tin of loose rooibos tea and a mesh dipper today. Tasty stuff.....about to have a second cup.

Pretty good for no caffeine.

Tulsi tea rocks! I've only had this one from Pukka:



The health benefits of Tulsi tea are amazing.

Just tried some xlyitol as an alternative to sugar... it's good! Had it in coffee but will be trying it in tea.

[lxskllr]

Look up xylitol online before you get on board with with it. I vaguely remember a connection with tooth decay. The alcohol converts to acid, and eats away tooth enamel. Maybe it isn't a big deal, I didn't read the full study, but it's worth noting before you jump in.

[Ansel]

Okay thanks LX. Don't think i can afford to buy anymore... about 5 times the price of sugar which is expensive anyway!

It can't be any worse that sugar can it LX?

I buy as much tea as I can bring on a plane - whenever I am in the UK. I love PG teas http://www.pgtips.co.uk/newrange/, Yorkshire Tea, English breakfast.... Britain is my source of tea as Sweden is (or it rather was) my source of snus.

Morrison's, Sainsbury, Tesco.. they all carry excellent teas.. simple black teas, the best the world has ever known.

I love my (Brittish) tea, don't want to live withoput it as i don't want to live without snus. Amen

[voodooman]

pu-erh for me. it's aged, slowly fermented if i recall. sometimes for many many years. really smooth and earthy, with tastes of leather and peat. never, ever add sugar or milk or anything to my tea.
