Tea Presweetened with Sugar (1 Mug (8 Fl Oz))

Choose unsweetened tea, or gradually reduce the added sugar over several days until you no longer need it.

Use a small amount of a non-sugar sweetener such as stevia or monk-fruit extract instead of sugar.

Have the tea with a protein-rich, low-carbohydrate snack such as plain Greek yogurt or a boiled egg rather than drinking it on an empty stomach.

If you want a sweet accompaniment, choose a small portion of berries or an apple with nuts instead of biscuits, pastries, or sweets.

Drink water alongside the tea and avoid refilling sweetened tea multiple times.

Take a short 10–15 minute walk after drinking the tea, if appropriate for your health and mobility.
