Tea with honey (1 piece)

Use less honey, such as reducing the amount by half, and gradually adjust to a less-sweet tea.

Replace some or all of the honey with a non-sugar sweetener such as stevia or monk-fruit extract.

Drink the tea with a small serving of nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, rather than on an empty stomach.

Have the tea alongside plain Greek yogurt or a small portion of cheese to add protein.

Add cinnamon, vanilla, lemon, or ginger to make the tea taste sweeter or more flavorful without extra sugar.

Take a 10–15 minute easy walk after having the tea to help moderate the rise.
