Twinings - Green Lemon Green Tea (1 teabag)

Drink the green lemon tea unsweetened; avoid adding sugar, honey, syrups, or sweetened lemon concentrates.

Check the ingredient label and choose a version without added sugars or maltodextrin; brewed tea itself is typically unlikely to raise glucose much.

Have the tea with a small protein- and fat-containing snack, such as plain Greek yogurt, a boiled egg, or a handful of almonds, rather than alongside sweet foods.

If you want extra lemon flavor, add fresh lemon juice or a slice of lemon instead of sweetened flavorings.

Avoid pairing the tea with biscuits, pastries, sweetened cereal, or fruit juice; choose options such as cheese, hummus with non-starchy vegetables, or avocado instead.

Monitor your response when drinking it at different times; having it after a balanced meal may produce a smaller rise than drinking it with a carbohydrate-heavy snack.
