Sugar Alternatives for Tea : Sugar acts as a slow poison for our body, the sooner you eliminate it from your diet the better it will be for you. You can use these naturally sweet things instead of sugar in tea.
Tea is not just a drink in India, but it is the life of many households. People here definitely drink tea as soon as they wake up in the morning or in the evening to get rid of fatigue. But in today's fast-paced life, drinking tea with high sugar content is increasing many health problems. Diabetes, obesity, heart disease and skin problems are prime examples of this. This is the reason why dieticians and nutrition experts also recommend using natural sweeteners instead of sugar. These are not only tasty, but also take care of your health. Let us know what things can be used instead of sugar in tea.
1. Honey – Natural and nutritious sweetener
While adding honey to tea, keep in mind that you add honey to tea after removing it from the gas. So that all the nutrients and antioxidants present in it remain in the right form. Anti-bacterial and antioxidant properties are found in abundance in honey. It also makes the digestive system healthy and helps in controlling weight. To add honey to tea, add the same amount of sugar. Its taste is slightly sweet and healthy. This remedy proves to be very effective especially in winters.
2. Jaggery
The tradition of drinking jaggery tea is still prevalent in villages. Jaggery is naturally rich in iron, minerals and antioxidants. Its taste is definitely different from sugar, but it is a much better option from a health point of view. One thing to note is that after adding jaggery, do not boil the tea for too long, as this can destroy the nutritional elements of jaggery. Drinking jaggery tea, especially in winters, warms the body and also relieves fatigue.
3. Mulethi (Liquorice)
Licorice has been used in Ayurveda for centuries. It is naturally sweet and has many beneficial effects on health. Tea made from licorice especially provides relief from cold and cough and sore throat. You can also drink it as herbal tea by mixing it with cinnamon or cloves. Adding licorice to tea not only gives sweetness, but it also increases your immunity.
4. Date Syrup
Date syrup is thick and sweet, so it should be used in small quantities. It contains fiber, iron and other essential minerals which work as energy boosters. Mixing it in black tea or milk tea and drinking it improves the taste as well as health. This method proves to be very useful especially when you want to gain weight or feel lack of energy. Keep in mind that adding too much syrup can make the taste of the tea very thick, so use it in balanced quantities.
5. Dry Fruits
Dr Anil Patel says that tea can be made by boiling dry fruits like raisins and dates in milk. This method not only makes the tea sweet but also makes it healthy. Dry fruits are rich in vitamins, fiber and minerals. If you do not like very sweet tea, then this method can be a great option for you. Also, raisin-date tea is helpful in keeping the body warm, especially in winters.
