Crisis of Drink
I’m officially as hooked as hooked can be on iced green tea.
But about a week ago, I had a glass and got a stomach ache. I wasn’t sure if it was from the tea or not but a second glass and a second stomach ache proved to me that it was the tea. So I dumped that jug down the drain and got a glass from our second pitcher and — another stomach ache.
I tell you, brothers and sisters, that I have never been quite so distraught as at that moment. I just don’t dig coffee as much as I once did (though the occasional cup still calls to me), and I don’t drink soda/pop (too much sugar or aspartame, depending). And without the caffeine, it’s headache city. Sure, I could heat up some tea each day since that didn’t seem to bother my stomach, and that’s basically what I did during my crisis, but I really like a nice, refreshing glass (or two) of iced green tea each day. Our iced tea maker was just so damned convenient.
Fortunately, Candice mentioned that the last glass she had was pretty sweet and suggested maybe it was a result of too much honey. So I tried making another pitcher with just the tiniest bit of honey in it this time and — success. No headache from my green-tea yumminess. I’m back on the bandwagon. Whew.
You may now continue on with your day.
