No caffeine for me.
Last year at about this time, I noticed that the stabbing pain I'd been having in my stomach was related to drinking coffee. I quit the coffee and switched to green tea, and cut my caffeine habit way back as a consequence.
Over the past week, I've been noticing some very familiar stabbing pain in the stomach. So I decided to experiment, and I didn't drink any tea this morning. Like magic, no stabbing pains.
And no caffeine.
As it turns out, even a small caffeine habit such as mine (1 or 2 cups of green tea a day) can make a person kind of miserable when it's being kicked. I perhaps should have left this little project until a day when I wasn't going to have to deal with 15 intractable third graders, but the stabbing pain was a real, well, pain. And from past experimentation, I can't really do decaf coffee, either. Dunno if it's the wee bit of caffeine that's still in it, or something else, but I can't tolerate it. :(
So what's your favorite hot beverage that lacks caffeine?
