SPORTea Iced Tea
This delicious iced tea is like a miracle drink! I found myself recommending it to some friends recently, and wondered why it wasn't on my "Recommended" page yet, so here it is!
It's better than any sports drink I've ever tried: yummy taste without sugar or chemical sweeteners, energizing but naturally decaffinated, and so refreshing! All with just natural ingredients: decaffinated green and black teas, vitamin c, electrolytes, siberian eleuthero root, and ginger.
Today I learned that the tea (probably the ginger) seemed to help my chemo-tummy, too, so it might be good for staying hydrated when you have an unhappy tummy.
The box reads: "SPORTea has ginger which enhances circulation; potassium to help relieve stress by relaxing tense muscles; no aftertaste so that your thirst is really quenched; a full daily dose of vitamin C to fight colds; plus trace minerals/electrolytes to relenish bodily systems; only traces of caffeine which in this quantity will positvely stimulate the nerve endings but will not overload you; and the world's finest Siberian Eleuthero Root - a systems adaptogen that revitalizes you and helps your body operate more productively! So physically, you feel better... more energized & more metally alert throughout the day." More on SPORTea's website.
The box contains 7 quart-size (I used one for each gallon jug of tea I make) cold-brew tea bags, about $8 a box at Whole Foods or other good grocery stores that have a good tea selection. It's a bit tricky to find, so you can order online, too.
