More Paleo Tea
As I mentioned in my previous post, I love tea! I used to take my tea with skim milk and two sugars, then I “progressed” onto sweeteners with whole milk. Now, I have it on it's own – I don't think I could go back to how I drank it before, my tastes have changed so much. Tea is surely the perfect Paleo drink, naturally low carb and nothing artificial (if you're careful with the type you select).
I try to drink a lot of water, but there are times when it's great to have a hot drink. One favourite is hot water with a slice of lemon or lime, but I've recently got I've finally ventured away from the mass produced tea bags, to a fantastic specialist tea shop near my office in Sydney.
I'd rather not have caffeine, but I have my tea fairly weak so I'm not too worried about it. It's probably a worthwhile exchange for the antioxidants anyway.
I started off with Gunpowder tea and today I added a few more to my desk collection. I thought I'd try “Glogg”, which is black tea, cinnamon, orange, almond, ginger (I seem to have ginger in everything at the moment), cloves & cardamon. I got an organic Sri Lankan Ceylon tea, for my morning cup of tea. Then, as I was paying I spotted “Japanese Lime” which is the most amazing combination of green tea, lemon, lime & lemon-grass. I'll be trying that one as an iced tea too.
What is your Paleo drink of choice?

Oh man, I seriously love tea — I checked out the Tea Centre’s website and I’m going to have to pick up some of their teas!! We also have a T2 nearby us, and they have some great blends as well, if you avoid the ones with sugary stuff in them. We get quite a few teas from there as well. I love tea both hot and cold, and you can easily make up big bottles of iced tea to keep you going all day.
I’ve also recently discovered Teeccino, which is an awesome coffee substitute! I love the actual taste of coffee, so I often find myself craving it, even though I drink it in moderation. But Teeccino tickles all the same tastebuds for me, while being soooo much healthier! 😀

T2 is great too, will have to pay them another visit soon! I’m looking forward to having lots of iced tea this summer,
I’ll have to check out Teeccino!
