What are your favorite drinks? Sick of Crystal Light!

I am so sick of all flavors of Crystal Light. My pouch doesn't tolerate plain water. I didn't like Mio. The only thing that seems to satisfy my thirst and tastes good is regular tea with splenda. I know I don't need 64 ounces of caffeinated beverages a day.

So, what do you drink? Be specific! I'm looking for things to try!!
Thanks!!!

How about decaf iced tea? I also enjoy a product called True Lemon - it's crystalized lemon juice, not sweet. It also comes in True Lime and True Orange. It's really good and a nice little change to plain water.

What about decaf tea?

My favorite drink is iced tea.  I like it unsweetened.  At home I make decaf.  I brew up two gallons at a time and it lasts me maybe three days.  If I'm out, I drink regular with caffeine, though.

I also like herbal tea.  Peppermint tea is really good iced, as well as hot.

Lately I've been drinking decaf coffee with some milk added and some sugar free caramel syrup.  For some reason I really love caramel stuff these days.  I like this coffee both hot and iced.

What brand decaf tea do you drink? I tried Lipton decaf right after surgery and didn't like it. I need to try it again!

True lemon and orange sound good. I never tried them because I thought they would be as sweet at Crystal Light. I will add them to my grocery list!

I drink Lipton decaf.  To me, it tastes the same as regular Lipton.

Ok! I am going to try it again. Thanks for the suggestion.

They are not sweet at all - but make sure you get the crystalized juice packets and NOT the lemonade packets (like Crystal Light) they make. I think the crystalized juice packs are usually wherever lemon or lime juice are - the baking aisle perhaps? I order them from their website; fast shipping (often free) and they come in quantities that are priced better than the boxes in the store (I order the 500 pack for about $32).

Ugh! I use to could drink that stuff, but now after surgery I can't tolerate the taste of it.  Another OH member brought some flavored water by Muscle Milk at Big Lots for 75 cents and she said it was good!  I might go there and try that!

SF Kool-Aid, SF bottled teas, SF fancy coffees from Caribou and Starbucks, unsweetened lemon ice tea, SF lemonade and SF flavored waters like Sobe.
