I don't know if I've ever shared this here or not. One of my favorite treats to stave off a sweet tooth is a cup of Celestial Seasonings English Toffee tea with a pinch of sugar (literally a pinch, just to enhance the flavor) and a tablespoon of skim milk (again just to enhance the flavor). It is rich, sweet and gives me the elusion of chocolate when I just don't have the calories for it, or if I'm not really hungry but am craving something sweet.
Blessings,
Lori

Thanks for the suggestion, Lori!

Haven't tried any of the dessert teas yet. Will have to put that on my shopping list. But, a good chai tea, will give me a sweet boost like that any night when it's cold.
It's never too late to get it right.

In the past I've only been able to get it at Whole Foods in our area. But I just started seeing it at Savemart supermarket, and the manager at Albertsons said he'd order it for me.
