Am I the only mom out there who has kids who build lego outside coffee cafes for their chicks (no kidding, I just photographed this one) or wine bars out of wooden blocks?
I was drinking 3-4 cups of coffee a day and completely happy (if a bit jumpy at times), when my sister and mother introduced me to Teeccino Herbal Coffee
(the price on the link is for 3 bags). At first I almost gagged (seriously). Who in the world would drink herbal coffee??? Isn't the point of coffee the caffeine? I have two boys for goodness sakes!!!My Mom, who has reflux, can't drink coffee anymore and had an extra bag of hazelnut Teeccino. So I decided to give it a try. After all, I do get tired of waking up like a zombie until I have my coffee each morning.
Well, I have to say that I love it! I don't think it is as delicious as real coffee (when brewed straight), but I mix it with 25-50% real coffee in the morning (this is actually better than real coffee, nice and smooth) and have it straight at night for a nice treat. Now I can drink "coffee" whenever I want. I use a coffee press when I drink straight Teeccino since I don't have to worry about using a filter (unfiltered real coffee can raise your cholesterol).
And Teeccino might have saved my life. I had to give up coffee completely when I was sick earlier this week, and if I had been drinking my normal 3-4 cups a day I might have gone into complete loss-of-caffeine-shock and died. I might not be kidding.
I am not giving up real coffee, but it is nice that I have an alternate for afternoons and evenings AND also cut my morning caffeine. Now I have to write some herbal coffee actions. ;-)
