To ask for lovely non alcoholic, non caffeinated, non fizzy drinks suggestions please

[Flippinghecklike]

I have gastritis and not for the first time. I dont drink loads of alcohol but definitely a couple of glasses a couple of times a week and been advised by dr to knock this on the head, at least for a bit.

At work I glug diet coke which also made dr wince as is caffeinated and fizzy and basically need some new habits. I think I treat all drinks like my mum used to treat fags - there’s a bit of a ritual / treat involved and I want to find something in addition to all the water I already neck to add a bit of variety and sense of it being a nice little break for five mins or a treat at the end of the week. Quite like green tea… any other ideas?! X

Peach tea is my favourite flat drink.

Mango smoothie

Any flavoured green tea.

Water with infused lime and cucumber. Or apple and lemon. On ice.

Ordinary tea doesn’t have much caffeine in it and could be a good half way between giving up completely otherwise Peppermint tee is nice. And both are available nearly everywhere

Fruit tea, or proper (decaff) coffee made in a cafetière etc

The Robinsons squash in glass bottles (for grown ups) is lovely.

They do a mint and lime one and a raspberry, rhubarb and orange blossom which are both nice.

Posh squash? DD got some Robinsons cordial the other day that was more interesting than the usual flavours in a posher glass bottle. Coconut water? Kombucha? Lots of other cordials out there - elderflower etc. Jazz it up with some ice-cubes!

M&S do a couple of adult cordials, found in the alcohol aisle.

Bottlegreen cordials are nice, especially the elderflower.

I've recently started doing cold-brew tea, which is really nice - fruit/herbal teas don't have caffeine, though I suppose any of the black/green ones will. My favourite has been a cherry-flavoured oolong.

Redbush tea

Lidl peach and barley squash is nice. Twinnings green tea and lotus flower is lovely. Pukka chamomile, ginger and honey.

Tonic water with slice of lime?

Homemade lemonade - I jazz it up all the time, watermelon lemonade, strawberry, lime and strawberry, peach lemonade etc. Coffee free pumpkin spice latte (basically the pumpkin spice seasonings and hot / ice milk), chai tea (spices and milk only, no caffeine).

Tesco Apple and elderflower high juice is my current fave.

Homemade kombucha? You can make it tea based to, or basically with any flavour. Fun to grow too.

I was going to say bottle green too. I like the lemongrass and ginger one.

Amazing! Lots of ideas thanks so so much

Vimto have a wider range now, we have 4 different flavours we alternate between.

Bubble tea? Bit more treat-y (and calorific) than some of the above, but a bit special and can be done at home.
