I was able to switch from sugar in my tea to honey but haven't been able to give that up. My doctor recommended sweet leaf stevia, I believe it was, or monk fruit. I haven't looked for them yet. I'm curious how expensive they are, although honey isn't exactly cheap.

Stevia is very inexpensive (I'm thinking a few dollars for about 50 packets), all natural (ground plant leaves), calorie free, no artificial sweeteners, no blood sugar effect. I use it often with tea and coffee. It sweetens lightly and some say there is a slight bitter flavor to it but I overlook that because there is so much I like about it.

Thanks for the suggestions! I will try to keep it plain, but if I can't stand it that way I will maybe try stevia. I will think of the character Lydia on Breaking Bad every time I use it, though !

Thanks for the stevia feedback! I will look for it next time I'm at the store.
