If you’re like me and you drink 1-2 cans of sparkling water per day, then you must have shared in my devastation upon reading that sparkling water erodes your tooth enamel and causes cavities. While we thought we were making a healthy choice by drinking carbonated water, apparently we were adding to rotting of our teeth.
So, now that soda, juices, sports drinks, energy drinks, and even sparkling water are no longer considered safe recreational beverages, how will we make it through a nine-hour workday?
I have a solution to our “I need my mid-day, cold, flavored pick-me-up drink” problem: iced tea.
But this isn’t sweet tea, or bitter black tea that will continue to rot your teeth or increase your heart rate; this is iced fruit tea that really, truly, can’t do you any harm.
Want to know the bonus? It costs only $4 for 20 tea bags and 1 tea bag per drink = .20 cents per drink! That’s opposed to $4 for 12 cans of LaCroix at .33 cents per drink. Not to mention, when you make this drink at home you will inevitably reusable glass jars, and save aluminum.
