Ah i see. No milk is part of it obviously. Hmmm well if you are finding the fruit tea's a bit erm 'rough' have you tried a herbal tea like mint? Does not need milk or sweetner either (i prefer a bit of milk as i'm british and we put milk in everything).

As it happens, my mum brought some home today! I'm about to make a cup.

Would recommend drying mint under the sun. It will last for very long time this way. Otherwise it'll just get soft, and spongy, and actually lose more flavor.

Fruit teas because avoiding sugar, or caffeine?

erm, you can (easily in most places i think) buy a thing called mint tea that comes in bags; all you need do is add boiled water, give it a stir and let it steep for a few minutes. No need to gather fresh mint and dry it yourself (even if that sounds nice)!

Still really anything is better than soft fizzy drinks, so if you have to make your own tea or buy coke, go on and make that tea

It's more fun when you manage your own herbs

Sugar and milk is what I'm cutting down on.

Because proper tea is theft.

You, sir, have just won the internet.

Congrats OP, nice job!


I second the ginger and spicy recommendations.
Fresh herbs are wonderful.
Citrus zest, cinnamon, clove and many other flavors are easy to add.


That said, this whole topic reminds me of the La Croix water hate.

A few more months and I will take my coffee without sugar

this is how i like coffee:

everything else is not 'coffee' but a derivative. not very interested ...
ofc you never ever put sugar in there. are u nuts???

So, what's in a "fruit tea"? And does it help weight loss better than regular tea?

dried fruits, anything goes from berries to lemmon peels. it doesn't help weigh loss better than regular unless there's a specific combination i don't know of, but op didn't use it to replace tea but those disgusting sugar beverages with concentrations over 100gr refined sugar per litre. which is basically poison, so a smart move

you just made me sad. i want you to know this!
