I make a traditional pot with teacups for my desk, so it's usually several. (I love tea and beverages in general...)

If I drank tea, that’s how I’d want to make it.

Hope you feel better soon.

That’s another good way to experience a hot drink.

I don't know anyone else here, besides our family, that has tried (and likes) Ovaltine. The one I'm accustomed to is more like a hot chocolate? I haven't had it in years to be honest. But it's great for the cold season.

None, I don't have added sugar or refined carbs in general at all these days. Healthy boy. .

Thus I generally don't drink tea, just coffee, as I only like sweet tea.

I do have the occasional tea with some sweetener but I'm not fond of the weird aftertaste of cheap aspartame etc so only if we've got this stuff in:

…I have an App to scan your foods and skin products etc…I’m pretty obsessed with it, I have to say and been surprised at how much it dislikes some things that I thought weren’t too bad…it doesn’t just assess salt/sugar content etc, it also detects the bad, toxics in products that are NO..!!!!!…I think it starts to have serious panic attacks when it’s put near any artificial sweetener ….

There's a Yuka sweetener syrup that's pretty similar to Sukrin I think. I've not actually tried it though it just pops up on Amazon as a suggestion sometimes .

…I just googled what some of the better sweeteners are and these are some that came up…Stevia, Erythritol, Xylitol, Yacon syrup…(…as you’ve said…)…Monk Fruit Sweetener….also, there’s honey as some of said and Maple syrup and just any kind sweet sticky substance…honestly, the Yuka App is so excellent though, it’s worth a download…it’s like a way of life…

Maple syrup, anyone? (In a cuppa.) Or maple-sugar? Which one fits tea best?
