Healthy Hot Drinks - Help Me Find One?
Okay, a query for my LJ collective mind (paralleled from FB): I'm cold, and want a hot drink. I've been drinking cider, but that's too sugary for multiple cups. My diabetes has not gone away, and I must not pander to my sweet tooth, lest I unleash another set of unhappy health problems.
My usual hot drink is tea, but I'm to avoid tea (antioxidants and caffeine) and coffee (caffeine bad for heart rate/blood pressure.) Hot chocolate, whilst lovely, has the problems of too much sugar and caffeine, too.
I know that all the things called "tea" aren't actually. What herbals are hot, not caffeinated, and are not anti-oxidants? Would chamomile be okay? I've been trying to look stuff up on the internet, but coming up in circles and loops. *sigh*
