raw unpaturized honey...
Have you tried Stevia? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevia
You can by it in large bags or in single serving packets. Took me a couple of days to adjust to the taste - but now I'm fine with it.
If you were ever a Breaking Bad fan - it plays a significant role!!!

Try a different brand of stevia. They blend stevia with other ingredients to bulk it up and that can change the flavor. Trulia has a minty aftertaste. Stevia In The Raw has a little bitter taste. I would buy small packages of several brands to see if you can find one you like.
I went through TWH and they have honey on the list of sweeteners to avoid. It's still sugar. I get it though, it is nice in tea. I am now onto using stevia. Weirdly, I don't like the taste of most black teas. Onto chai teas, especially all herbal versions. With a little stevia, it's really good. Splenda is another option that many like. I keep the brown sugar version around for oatmeal.
It's a lot of trial and error - a learning curve if you will. Nobody is perfect, all we can do is our best. :)

Yea i guess ill have to avoid it. I do like the antibacterial properties of pure raw unpasturized honey. (Not the stuff from the grocery store thats all fake and such)
Stevia is okay im still not crazy on the taste. And ive figured out that i now dont like earl grey tea... off to try orange pekoke... maube aome herbal or see if i still like peppermint.
I can't do Earl Grey either. I found Bulk Barn had a good selection of loose and bagged teas so I brought home a few things to try them out. Stash Red Dragon Chai is my favourite so far. The BB also has other sweetener alternatives, as do some health food stores. Might be other natural options out there?
