I'd answer your question with another question: Is tea with milk and sugar one of your very favorite things, a moment in your day that you enjoy fully? Then yes, go for it! Or, do you just want to add sugar to cut the bitterness of the tea a bit? If that's the case, I'd say try other options for a change – first switch to a little honey instead, since honey has healthy qualities and is lower on the glycemic index than white sugar (it won't make you crash as fast as sugar). Gradually decrease it until you find yourself liking plain tea with milk just fine. Another way to look at it: If you are mindful of the rest of your diet, and try to buy/eat foods with less added sugars, then go ahead and enjoy a little sweetness in your tea! The main thing is to be mindful of how much added sugar we really have in our diet. It hides in spaghetti sauce and rotisserie chicken and who knows what else. The less plain sugar we eat, the happier our bodies are! But tea is a wonderful thing to bless our day; so if it means cutting sugars elsewhere so we can enjoy it in our favorite things, that's good for the soul as well as the body. Cheers!<\/div>\n<\/div>
