this was a grand share from ShortSorceress. thank you kindly, ma’am!
i am trying so hard to reduce sugar in my life which is not an easy thing for me; given the choice between cheesecake and chips i’ll always swap my wife her cake for my chips so i can have two pieces! however, given that despite my red mowhawk my next birthday is 38, i figured maybe i should eat a tad more responsibly.
i have a costco membership. it would be bonkers to buy sugar there under normal circumstances (what, an 80 pound bag? lol) as i stumbled through the inconveniently unlabeled aisles i noticed bottled pairs of agave syrup for 9.99$. that’s supposed to be a great alternative to sugar. it’s way sweeter than white granulated, which means i can use less. except it doesn’t seem to work that way. i use just as much if not more. damn.
so i thought i’d try to cut it out all together starting with this tea! it’s a very nice smooth blend. deeply, darkly chocolate. lovely even without sugar (although i did add cream). very rich, definitely decadent, reminds me of chocolate mousse. i didn’t miss the sugar at all!
i’m not sugar free… but if you are trying to reduce your sugar intake i highly recommend this one =0)
I got one sweetened with Stevia! I didn’t realize it til opening my package. bleh.
Spice and Tea Exchange make a great chocolate tea as well but it’s a tad astringent for me
i purchase unsweetened almond milk because then i can add as much or little sweetener as i want, but i can COMPLETELY see how having the unsweet version unexpectedly would be like drinking paper.
it sounds like you’ve found the PERFECT use for it!
i’m gonna add this tea to my shopping list. yum
