I had a pretty sweet day at my favorite caffe, Urth Caffe, over in Santa Monica just off the beach.
I sat in their garden area and did lots and lots of school reading.
I ordered my usual Chai Tea Latte there but because we're being sugar conscious I asked if they put sugar in it.
Sure enough they said yes.
I actually always thought that I was drinking a no calorie drink because I would get fat free milk with it. I had no idea it had added sugar!
I guess chai tea isn't naturally that sweet after all. Darn.
It's astonishing how vigilant we have to be about added sugar in drinks and foods we normally wouldn't expect to contain sugar.
Well I obviously told her to hold the sugar.
I ordered one latte to drink there and another to go. I told them I'd pick up the to go latte on the way out.
As I was getting ready to leave I remembered... I can use honey!!!
So I walked up to the guy making the latte's and told him to please add some honey and voilà!
Delish!
Today's lesson isn't too difficult. When you want to sweeten something, a spoon full of honey will do the trick!
It's totally natural which is TOTALLY allowed.
No need to spaz out and think nothing will ever be sweet again.
Making life simple one spoon full of honey at a time!
"Just a spoon full of honey makes the medicine go down!"
(I revised the song)
Went to Santa Monica beach to get some reading done and breath in some fresh air.
Looking at all the beauty around me today reminded me that there is so much to be thankful for in all times.
We are incredibly loved.
Joyful in all things,
Daisy Julia
