I can’t believe how great this hot (or cold) drink is!  Sweet, tasty, no calories, no caffeine, and helps me curb hunger and lose weight.

Ever been at a bar and heard someone say to the bartender, “make it a double?”  That’s what this drink is about.  Double flavor, doubly sweet. NO alcohol, fat, or sugar, though.

Here’s the very simple recipe:

Dr. Norris Chumley’s Double Sweet Tea

8 ounces boiling hot water
2 tea bags of berry herbal tea (I like Celestial Seasoning’s Black Cherry or Raspberry)
2 packets of Stevia no-calorie sweetener

Add all the ingredients at one time.  Let it steep double the time (6 minutes or so).  This makes the tea rather strong; the flavor is doubled and very candy-like.  If you want it iced, let it steep a little longer and add some ice cubes, or better yet — let it cool in the fridge overnight (perhaps make a lot more, in a pitcher).

This tea is amazing!  I’m drinking it every night: the times when I so strongly wanted carbs or sweets, difficult to handle threats to throw my weight loss and/or maintenance off-track.  This tea satisfies my sweet-tooth in a big way, with no calories.

It’s healthy as it hydrates the body.  It curbs hunger pangs.  It helps one get a full-feeling.
