what to consider next time you pour yourself a cup of coffee or tea

i've heard people cut down their caffine in their coffee,   and think drinking decalf is better.  well, you may be doingf your body more harm than good. when decafinated coffee is made their is a bleaching process that takes place to remove the caffeine. your better off drinking caffinated

coffee.  are you one of those people who use coffee whitner or put coffee mate in your coffee. again, this whitner is a petroleum product. if you put a pile of this whitner on the ground and put a match to it, it would burn up. scary huh.??!! now on the positive side of coffee or tea. if your one who likes to have a specialty coffee with a  caramel , mint, strawberry or even lemon. save your money and heres a great flavour tip to add to your hot beverages.  most of us have bought hard candies of one sort or another. my favorite is any citrus.  we have our favorite soft carmel, or toffee, again whatever flavour you love.  instead of using sugar to sweeten your coffee, stir in a soft carmel or toffee candy in your coffee. it is really quite yummy. now for teas, if your one like me who likes teas mostly fruity ones. stir in a hard candy in your tea. whether its raspberry, strawberry, even lemon. that becomes your tea sweetner, again a very flavourful hot beverage.  those specialty coffees could get expensive .  too much white sugar isn't good for you. these candies not only sweeten your drinks with less sugar content, it adds that pop of flavour those high prices coffee places offer,  for a fraction of their prices.  i've bought strawberry cholates, toffee chocolates and a buch of other flavoured chocolates. stir some of these chocolates in your hot cocoa beverage.  instead of marshmellows throw in a small flavoured chocolate that melts giving a trist to your hot chocolate. i would buy a box of fruity chocolates and let my kids pick thier own chocolate to add to their hot cup of chocolate drink. they loved it, so did thier friends when they came out of the cold on a wintery day.

enjoy
