Ugh!

 I am trying to find an alternative tea to my usual black. One that doesn’t use milk, sugar or sweetener’s. I have just made some green tea, astringent gnats pee springs to mind. Added 1/2 a slice of lemon, astringent lemon gnats pee. Dipped half a teaspoon in honey to barely coat it and stirred it in. Still as bad but slightly sweetener:(

I am not a fan of fruit or herbal teas so was not expecting much. I shall buy some root ginger and try lemon and ginger with a smidge of honey, see how that goes.

  1. I tried so many herbal or fruit teas over the years and not liked any of them. Only english breakfast tea for me these days! x

  2. In my opinion most fruit or herbal teas smell gorgeous but taste disgusting! So I don't have any recommendations. Hope you find something.

    1. Don’t think I will, I disliked all herbal and fruit teas tried over the years.

    1. Thanks for that. Have tried other versions of that, still tasted horrible to me.

  4. Can't help you at all on this one as I went off tea completely a couple of years ago!

  5. Oh dear no suggestions as while I can drink coffee with no cream and sugar, tea is beyond me without a tiny bit of sugar.

    God bless.

    1. I can drink tea, at a push unsweetened, but not coffee.

  6. I don't drink any tea and haven't since I was about 13 years old, it literally makes me sick, although I persevered for years trying fruit teas and weird concoctions. If I want a hot drink that's not coffee I usually have a lemon slice in hot water, or just hot water. I also used to like the occasional hot chocolate from a vending machine, but I've not been near a vending machine for years.

  8. Have you tried the decaf version of Yorkshire tea we find it is the nicest decaf of them all. Just with a little milk and no sugar?

    1. Yes, it’s good as well. I currently drink my tea white with a sweetener, am just trying to find an alternative which might not require milk and sweetener.

  9. Got a new phone that is allowing me to comment on some blogs!
    I'm a coffee drinker, but like the lemon and ginger tea from Aldi.
