A great tea that is great for diabetics as well as anyone for that matter. The only change simmering the water almost to a boil, and letting the tea bags immerse into the simmered water for 5 minutes. I tried the other way of having the teabags sit in boiling water for 10 minutes and this tended to have a rather sharp taste. Much better for a shorter time. I chose raspberry extract and splenda and this turned into a delightful cup of tea for the afternoon. Thank you emtpixie!
