I have been trying for years to stop drinking diet soda. My success has ranged from a few days to two months, but I always end up reaching for a Coke Zero or Diet Dr. Pepper at some point. I know it’s unhealthy, and I need to stop, but I’ve accepted that just stopping won’t work. I’ll need to replace the diet soda with something else. So, I’m keeping cold brewed teas in my fridge so I can reach for those instead of chemical filled carbonated water when I want something cool to drink.
I really enjoy this tea as a cold brew. The flavor of the green tea is very crisp and clean with a slight grassy flavor. The blueberry is more much more subtle in the cold brew than when it’s steeped in hot water, but it is the perfect amount of fruit next to the base tea.

@Indigobloom – I’ve never tried Kombucha. One of my friends makes it, and I have to admit that it scares me. It looks like an alien brain in a jar….
@Fjellrev – Thanks! I don’t beat myself up when I slip up, but I do want to kick this habit. Baby steps all the way. :)
Maybe Kombucha tea will help? it does have sugar in it… and fizz :)
It still sounds like you’re doing very well. It takes baby steps.

LOL Veronica it scared me at first too. But it helped that my first sample of it was before I actually saw the scoby (the alien looking thing)
Now I’m actually making my own :P
