Replace the Soda

I do not think I need to go into how much sugar and added chemicals there are in your average soft drinks these days.  For those of you finding it difficult to kick the habit of drinking these, the following is a suggestion that you might find delicious as well as a much healthier alternative.

The company Tazo makes large tea bags for iced tea, you can purchase these at Target and various other stores, they have several flavors.  The running favorite every time I have a gathering or bring drinks to a gathering is the Passion tea.  I brew one bag to a half gallon of water and you can use 1/3 cup or less organic cane sugar or honey.  I let the tea steep until the jar cools. remove tea bag and refrigerate.  Purchase Pellegrino Sparkling Natural Mineral Water also available at Target and various stores.  When you have a craving for soda mix the two half and half for a spritzer. Enjoy!
