Kick the Addiction

Ready to kick diet coke? Awesome! I have a few suggestions. If green tea is too bitter (also it's caffeinated so it really shouldn't be ingested habitually); I really like Nettle Tea. Yes, it's stinging nettle the stuff that would sting the crap out of you in the woods as a kid, or is lurking in the garden somewhere overgrown. It's one of the most nutritious herbs on earth; high in Vitamin C, Vit A, Calcium, Magnesium and Zinc. And it's freakin' tasty.

Once the nettle is exposed to heat from boiled water the "sting" is killed. So, prepare like any old tea and it's lovely. I have yet to find a person who doesn't like Nettle tea. It's good Iced or Hot:)...Also peppermint tea would be excellent, great for digestion, invigorating, flavorful and masks any tea your drinking that you don't like!:)
