I use whole milk and sugar. I am of the belief that low fat is not healthy.

How about some vanilla extract in the coffee?? About a 1/4 teaspoon.

As a Brit in the US thats exactly how I use liptons and red rose - in the end I reverted back to good old PG tips via online shopping.

I don't drink coffee often, so when I do, I want to really enjoy it. Three little words...Sweetened Condensed Milk!!!!!

You are right about there being so many flavors of tea (including green tea). Republic of Tea makes a wonderful honey lemon green tea as well as so many more. I like coffee too but drink only one cup a day. I use DaVinci's French vanilla flavoring in mine, no milk.
I do use stevia in my tea for sweetening.

For my tea ... I like it black and the stronger the better, so no help there for the add-ins.
There's always lots of herbal and other sorts of teas which can give you oh so much flavour, and not be a regular plain black tea. Again, I don't add to those either.

I love Constant Comment tea and haven partially converted my coffee drinking husband. Don't forget that coffee drinkers are less likely to get Alzheimer's disease. I personally can only drink coffee if it doesn't taste like coffee so what's the point? I use Splenda to sweeten but have tried recently Blue Agave. BTW that is terrific to use on pancakes and waffles instead of syrup.

In January I had surgery for a gastric sleeve. My surgeon is wonderful and insists that I text him every day with my progress (activity level now - was blood sugar and pulse). As to sweeteners, he has forbidden all except for Stevia. He says that the others just make you crave more sweets. I have switched and have gotten used to the Stevia with no problems. But it could be just that the surgery causes you to lose all hunger for a while, sometimes forever, due to the very reduced stomach hunger hormone grenalin. I am also no longer diabetic and off all blood pressure meds. Weight loss is now 61 pounds but I lost 40 before the surgery in late January, not to even mention that I feel 20 years younger!
