Just wanted to recommend a surprisingly great tea to satisfy that sweet tooth with no guilt. I'm an avid drinker of tea with no sweetener (which as all tea drinkers know can run the risk of being bitter).
I happened to have a cold and sore throat this week fighting off sickness. Being sick sucks for me because instead of eating less like most people I typically eat more. To help with my throat I ended up making some "Throat Rescue" by David's Tea and my goodness is it ever sweet and delicious!!! Not what you'd expect a drink called "Throat Rescue" to taste like at all!!! And I don't put ANY sweetener in.
It's an Organic tea as well, unlike some of David's Teas, so you have that extra insurance of healthy goodness right there. It's made up partly of licorice root, cinnamon and mint and it's a great combination. I don't even like licorice but the sweetness of the licorice is fantastic. If you're craving like a hot coco or like a caramel latte but are trying to avoid them they this instead. It's definitely not a substitute for a chocolate or caramel taste...It has its own distinct flavour, but it is a good sweet flavour! Did I mention it's a herbal tea too? So if you're worried about caffeine, no need. You can drink this still.
I'm not sure what it would taste like iced If you're not into hot drinks... I'd imagine it would still taste pretty good, albeit a little unconventional!

Try this for your sugary hot drink fix!
However, I do want to let you know that a side effect is increased blood pressure. So if someone has high(ish) blood pressure they may want to limit consumption of Licorice root.
