I am so hooked on hot tea.........

[mrsaridings]

I have been hooked ever since I decided not to drink coffee anymore (like I could if I wanted to anyway).
I started out with the alternative for coffee Yerba Mate. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I drink it everyday. I never have had ANY problems with it. I am so addicted to it. Anyway I started drinking a lot of other teas like chammomile, and mint stuff for headaches and now I'm hooked. I know there is a flavor out there for almond. But it contains orange and citrus flavors which bother me. I wonder if I would be better off with an almond extract instead of almond flavored tea into my own tea concoction. I am going to try blueberry, chammomile, yerba mate, spearmint and peppermint, and almond, with vanilla and cinnamon and of course sugar. I hope it is good.

Has anyone tried the almond extract? Does it bother you? I have tried the almond milk but I don't want to put cream in my tea I think that ruins it.

I haven't tried the almond extract - but if you do please let me know how it turns out. I've been a big tea drinker since I was in my teens and first diagnosed.

I've had almond extract in black tea before and it didn't ruin the taste but that was years ago. If you'd like a black tea substitute try honey bush tea. It's caffeine free and it doesn't affect my bladder at all. It's not in the tea family. It tastes like orange pekoe but has a mild honey after taste and you can put milk and sugar in it if you'd like with out ruining it.
