Think about a teaspoon of sugar contain about 15 calories. So if 2-teaspoons per cup and 3 cups per day...you'll end up getting 90 calories daily just from sugar in your tea/coffee alone. Not to mention the risk of cavities from sugar and the risk of the onset of diabetes.
Getting rid of sugar from your tea/coffee daily would actually do justice to your body. However, we can only do our best to keep our body healthy but sometimes the bitter taste of unsweetened tea/coffee can be intolerable. Why not try Stevia? It is 300 times as sweet as sugar and it has no calorie.
I have tried Stevia myself. But as a reminder please be careful! Choose the pure Stevia extract, if not you'll end up taking the cheaper version of Stevia added with maltodextrin or maltose (sugar).
I have used the pure white powder Stevia extract and a small pinch is enough to make my tea sweet. Adding a bit more would result in a bitter taste. A small bottle of 10g of pure stevia extract would last for a month or more...
So what are you waiting for?
