I LOVE iced tea, but over the years my tea drinking has changed. I grew up drinking good ole sweet black tea. In my early 20's I had to switch to decaf for medical reasons. I had to cut sugar when I got pregnant. Now, I realize that just like with sugar substitutes and low fat foods something's got to give. It can't taste like sugar, full fat foods and fully caffeinated drinks and have no negative side effects. There have to be chemical processes and very unnatural things they do to foods to make them "like" the real thing. So, I drink Green Iced Tea. Its much lower in caffeine than black tea and is all natural. It's not decaf but I think it's the healthiest choice out there. This is my mad love of food. I started this as a low carb/low sugar blog, but there was more I wanted to share. So, some of the items may be on the healthy side, but there are some things life's just to short to pass. I try to keep things as natural and close to real food as possible. From the deep woods of bayou country...Happy Eating!
