Another Trader Joe's Temptation....

But this one is actually good for you! Do you like chocolate? Do you like tea? Do you like sweet indulgences that cost not one calorie? Well, get this....

Trader Joe's has naturally decaffinated Chocolate Flavored Tea! Its a wonder of modern science, I tells ya!


Divine Drinking in a box.

Its my favorite way to unwind, guilt-free. A great after dinner drink, midday pick up, or first-thing-in-the-morning-chocolate-fix. How does it work, you ask?

Dana's Delicious Mix:
1. Brew up a cup using the easy, single-serving teabag
2. Let it steep for about 3-5 minutes
3. Add a little sweetener (I prefer Splenda)
4. Add a little creaminess (I prefer organic unsweetened soymilk)
5. Put your feet up and enjoy!

*BONUS TIP: If you shake up your cream-of-choice before putting it into the tea, it creates a froth reminiscent of fancy coffeehouse milkfoam. (milkfoam is kind of a creepy word to type, now that I've done it.)

It's perfect because its not overbearingly chocolatey. More like a delicate tickle on your tongue, combined with subtle hints of vanilla and creme caramel. Its a very sophisticated blend of flavors which can be enjoyed just like coffee - black, sweetened, creamed, or all three ways! And indeed, it has nary a caloric gram to it.

Find it in your local Trader Joe's tea aisle. You'll be happy you did.
