Agave

Iced green tea is good. Tastes clean and I don't have to add milk or sugar (just 1/2 tsp of agave syrup) so it doesn't make my throat all sticky.

Speaking of agave syrup, this stuff is amazing. It is as sweet as sugar and doesn't have any weird taste. You know how Sweet & Low and Equal and Splenda have a funny taste? Kind of like super-sweet chemicals? And stevia requires work and still tastes a little odd - like a sweet herb...which is what it is. Agave syrup is perfectly sweet - similar to simple syrup made with sugar, just a bit thicker - and tastes like sugar. I mean it tastes like nothing, in the same way that sugar does...I'm excited and mildly obsessed with this product. I'd say that, just like anything else that is not directly plucked from the earth or picked off a plant, this should be used in moderation.
