I am one of the few people I know that doesn’t drink coffee.  I see everyone around me partaking in a ritual that I don’t understand.  I don’t like the smell and I can’t stand the taste.  I feel left out!  So, what about tea? Everything you read these days talks about how healthy tea is for all of us, but I don’t like the bitter taste.  When everyone around me is indulging in a cup of coffee, I would like to be able to indulge in a cup of tea. So began my search for the perfect tasting tea.

There is no nutritional value in drinking soda.  Most sodas are full of artificial flavors and chemicals. This should be one of the first things we eliminate from our diets.  Soda is being blamed for all kinds of health issues—weight gain being one of them.  But many believe that by drinking diet sodas, they are exempt from gaining weight.  Guess again!  Drinking diet sodas containing artificial sweeteners can actually increase your appetite instead of suppress it.

I recently gave up sodas because of the sugar and artificial sweeteners, and find myself drinking a lot more iced tea.  Here’s a quick way to brew iced tea in no time.
