Jasmine Tea (1 Teacup (6 Fl Oz))

Choose unsweetened jasmine tea; avoid adding sugar, honey, syrups, sweetened condensed milk, or flavored creamers.

Check bottled or café jasmine tea labels, as many versions contain added sugar; select plain brewed tea or a zero-sugar option.

Have jasmine tea alongside a protein- and fiber-containing snack, such as plain Greek yogurt with berries or a small handful of nuts, rather than drinking it with sugary foods.

If caffeine seems to raise your readings, choose decaffeinated jasmine tea or reduce the brew strength and serving size.

Drink the tea with or after a balanced meal instead of on an empty stomach, especially if you are sensitive to caffeine.

Track your response to different preparations—plain, decaf, hot, or iced—to identify whether caffeine or added ingredients are driving the rise.
