Doctor told me that I could cut down on a repeat-infection by staying away from coffee, tea, and sugar. Boo. Hiss.
I know some of y'all like your coffee black, the way grown-ups drink it. But I sure do like mine with sugar. I'm wussy. Oh, and the tea: Mississippi sweet-tea is too much like Kool-aid for my tastes. But I sho'nuf do like me some sugar in my tea. BUT my mommy told me once-upon-a-time that three weeks straight with NO SUGAR in your coffee will teach you to like it black. She and Dad toughed it out. And they never wanted to go back to sweetened coffee. (Or so they said. Maybe they fibbed?)
Well, I made it for more than three weeks with no sweetener in my beverages. Not even stevia or honey. So I can do it. I don't want to do it. I want sugar. Still. Months later.
What I discovered, however, is that hot water works for me on par with unsweetened tea and coffee. Plus, if I want to ratchet-up the flavor of plain old hot water, a little lemon juice or cranberry juice or orange or lime is wunderbar. Better than unsweetened tea or coffee.
But
still not as good as tea and coffee with sugar.

I was told that once I'd stopped drinking soda for a year, I'd think it was disgusting and never want to go back.
ReplyDeleteIt was all lies. I didn't have soda for nearly two years, and when I had my first sip of a cherry pepsi in years, it was like the heavens opened and granted me a taste of ambrosia. Everything from the sweetness to the bubbles was just amazing.
