\nAs we said before sugar is the most common method when it comes to sweetening you\u00a0tea. Different types of sugar has various flavors, for instance brown sugar has a deep,\u00a0rich flavor to it than white sugar. White sugar is refined and processed from sugar cane\u00a0to remove the molasses (by-product of refining sugarcane). Where as brown sugar is not\u00a0as refined as white sugar and its molasses are only half way removed. Brown sugar gives\u00a0your tea a wonderful flavor. Sugar also comes in many forms, such as sugar syrups, and\u00a0reduced calorie sugar cubes. Any of these would go perfectly with your tea.<\/p>\n
\nOf course honey isn\u2019t something new that sweetens your tea, its the well know substitute\u00a0to sugar, and is more healthier than sugar. It adds a certain flavor to your tea and a\u00a0richness. If you find the right type of honey, you wouldn\u2019t ever think of sweetening your
\ntea with sugar again. A bonus point, adding honey to your green tea might increase its\u00a0benefits, honey adds to the antioxidants already present in your green tea.<\/p>\n
\nUs Sri Lankans are all about jaggery. Every Sri Lankan knows that jaggery is best\u00a0consumed with your cup of Ceylon black tea. There are variety of ways to make Jaggery.For those of you who doesn\u2019t know the taste, it’s very sweet, and a tiny piece consumed
\nwith your tea gives you so much flavor. Jaggery is a must have in every house hold\u00a0around Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n
\nMost people wouldn\u2019t think of maple syrup as an option for sweetening your tea. But it\u00a0is a wonderful way to add a different flavor to your cup of tea. Maple syrup is as sweet\u00a0as sugar, but it has a lot more minerals and is healthier than honey as it has lesser
\ncalories.<\/p>\n
\nI know what most of you might think, but it’s one of the natural ways to add flavor to\u00a0your tea. The most commonly used is lemon, which has a sort of sweetness and a\u00a0tartness to it, when added to your tea it enhances the flavor of your tea.\u00a0These are some of the well know ways to sweeten your tea. But of course you can drink\u00a0your tea without sweetening as well, some people prefer it to sweetening. If you want to\u00a0experiment with taste and a be a little adventurous might I suggest trying these different\u00a0options and giving your cup of Ceylon Tea a different and a delicious flavor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
