Herbal tea anyone??

In the winter my all time favorite is candy cane decaf green tea. 

I drink so much herbal tea!  I don't really drink plain water since surgery, because cold water no longer agrees with me.  So I drink herb teas.  I have so many that I love.  None of these have caffeine.  Here are my favorites, plus some thoughts. 

I do not add any sweetener to my tea.  All of these teas are good as they come. 

Teavana Citrus Lavendar Sage:  my all time favorite, never tire of it--good hot, warm, cold.  Cannot say how much I LOVE this tea.

Smith Teamaker #67 Meadow--this is a delicious and comforting tea.  I love it.  I have to order it online, or I would drink it more often.

Teavana Caramel Almond Amaretti--delicious and a little bit desserty, smells so good

Teavana Wild Orange Blossom

Teavana Peach Tranquility

Mighty Leaf brand:  Chamomile Citrus and African Nectar (with the Chamomile Citrus, do not over-brew, or it becomes bitter)

Smith Teamaker #24 Big Hibiscus--really nice hibiscus tea with very slight spicy undertones

Tazo makes great teas.  I generally now prefer some of the others I have listed, but the Tazo are worth trying.

I used to love Good Earth "Sweet and Spicy," herbal blend.  Since surgery, it aggravates my system for some reason,  but it might not aggravate everyone's.

Celestial Seasonings Bengal Spice is a good chai tea--add a small amount of unsweetened soy or cream to this one.

Yogi brand Peach Detox--this is a very black peppery tea.  I like it a lot.

Other options:

I also really Dandelion root tea.  There is a powder called "Dandy blend" that I like.  It is kind of an instant drink powder. 

I LOVE a thing called Crio Bru.  It is brewed like coffee, except it is made from roasted cocoa beans. I brew this in a French press every morning.  I add a very small amount of unsweetened soy milk as a creamer.  It has no caffeine, though it does give you a little energy, so if I drink after dinner, I limit it to one cup after dinner.

Very cold here, too. It's been hovering just over 0 Celcius for a few weeks now, no snow yet. Unfortunately central heating doesn't exist in this country, so we use the heater function on our air-conditioner unit (the kind that is permanently installed into the wall).

I've been drinking a lot of ginger tea recently. I read some articles in Japanese that claim that ginger boosts the metabolism and reduces hunger. IDK if this is actually true, but I do feel less hungry after drinking it, but that could be a placebo effect or just the fact that my stomach is full of something warm and any tea would have the same effect. The one I drink is basically ginger powder in a regular black tea bag, but I've seen some American brands that have ginger-lemon herbal tea.
