I only drink de caf tea and green tea with lemon and ginger, and have one generous teaspoon of sugar, i have tried and tried to give it up and used sweeteners, but i always end up going back to sugar, i simply cannot give it up in my tea, i could go without in the green tea, but i prefer it with sugar all the same, i used to be a two teaspoon sugar person, but gave that up years and years ago.
