Alternative to Tea & Coffee

[Olive]

Green tea with lemon. And this is coming from a former ten teas with two sugars a day man.

 

I've recently got into green tea with ginger, after avoiding herbal and fruit teas like the plague. More fool me!

 

Anyway, green tea does have a little bit of caffeine in it I think, but not as much as normal tea.

Which has a lot less than coffee. I still have the occasional tea and indeed over priced coffee.

You have a decayed root in your molar, get an x-ray from your dentist. Had the exact same problem.

I will endorse this. I had the same problems as you and ultimately the bone got badly infected. Do see a dentist and ask for an x ray.

Meanwhile mint tea can be got as a herbal tea loose or ready bagged, nettle tea is surprisingly good. there are lots of fruit tea mixes too. Try liquorice as a drink(helps to expel mucus)or in sweets. Do read the ingredients list on any bags of herbal teas, to make sure it is not simply ordinary tea with a flavouring.

 

I also drink hot diluted orange juice and children love warm blackcurrent in winter Lots of the drinks recommended on other posts are very salty so be careful of how much you take of things like bovril meso oxo etc. I would definately not use cuppa soups as a drink in place of other fluids.

 

Just going to finish my Prosecco. Hic. giggle.

I work for a Sheffield-based importer & distributor of teas selling mainly traditional teas. However we also offer a lovely range of natural herbal teas that are ethically sourced, organic and eco-friendly.

 

If you (or any SF member) want some samples posting, email me at my business email - robert@basilurteauk.net and I'll forward some for you to taste. They'll make a refreshing change from normal tea and coffee and there's some great natural flavours for you to try.

 

For anyone wanting a taste of our traditional teas - here's a link to our website. Again, I'm happy to post out samples to anyone wanting to try.

I prefer herbal teas to ordinary teas plus they can be beneficial to health.

 

Fennel tea, good for stomach upsets and for women reduces period pain.

 

Green tea, helps to detox the liver and gallbladder .

 

Ginger tea, anti sick and upset stomachs.

 

Dandolion tea, good for the liver.

 

Any teas with honey is anti bacterial.

Can anyone recommend a hot drink that can be easily prepared and is relatively common and cheap to boot.

 

Anyone?

Rooibosh AKA Redbush tea- naturally caffeine free and available from Tesco etc.

Barleycup and Caro, both drinks caffeine free and available in Holland and Barrett

 

 

Yes to these, Barleycup is great and very nourishing, I had to give tea up years ago(had huge headaches when I did) though i do have Rooibosh.

 

Only thing is Barleycup has gone up in price so much since the Polish company was taken over(and rise in grain globally) around 4.25 for 200g jar now, I recommend buting six jars at one on amazon uk, which works out at 3.75, jar.
