I am so glad you asked. Right now I am having a cup of Celestial
Seasonings Mandarin Orange with a large teaspoon of frozen orange juice
concentrate to sweeten and cool. Welchs make two kinds of "Juice
Makers" that are just juice - no corn syrup, etc. Grape and mixed berry
(or something like that) Juice Makers are the pop top cans of juice
concentrate that you find in the bottled juices. When I make tea -
decaf, green or herb, I put in a couple of teaspoons of that juice.
Sweeter and delicious. Just be very careful - don't knock the damned
can over! What a mess! Luckily I had some K2R handy. Oh yeah - I also
take about one tablespoon of that concentrate or frozen orange, apple or
whatever, as long as it is just juice and mix it with the 0 calorie
sparkling water. Put the juice in after the water, otherwise it fizzes
too much. Just a little juice makes such a big refreshing drink. I
don't like ice or cold drinks so there isn't any watering down. Those
sparkling waters come in _very_ mild flavors - mandarin orange,
lemon-lime and raspberry. The flavors are listed as "natural
flavorings" so I think they are OK. That really is a lot of stuff to
drink, huh? Check the frozen juice section and you will be amazed at
the combinations you can make. For a treat - pina colada? a little
coconut milk. For myself that is a little cloying and since I don't
need it anymore I am pretty happy with what I have just described. I
would like to add that I _truly_, _truly_ did not think I could give up
my chocolate raspberry, hazelnut creme, chocolate caramel coffees. I
derived immense pleasure from 3 to 4 cups (big) everyday. But I went
cold turkey, put my head in the right place and the rewards have been
worth it. I even fix a big cup for my husband 3 times a day and don't
cry. Of course, I am hoping that my results will eventually bring him
over, but right now I still have lots of coffee left and I hate to waste
things. Maybe when it is all gone I can convince him that we shouldn't
buy any more. Have I given you some good ideas?
Love,
Bev
