HIya,

You could try unsweetened double cream in it thats quite nice, but be sure to only have around 90ml / 3floz only. Should you feel your weight loss slows though i would drop this otherwise enjoy

As Claire said, you could use a little cream instead of milk. Some people water it down to a milk consistency.
But the daily 'allowance' of double cream is only 2-3 tablespoons, with the larger amount Claire mentioned being an occasional addition under the special category section of the allowed list.

Cream is the alternative.

This only my experience but I used to hate black tea and now it is the only way I can drink it. What I did was promise myself that if I tried it for a week and still hated it I would go back to using milk, after a few days I was fine. The main thing I did was to have the tea quite weak to start with and then gradually brewed it stronger.

Hi,

I gave up milk years a ago (another fad diet) and try it really weak to start off with - after a couple of days of 'yuk' you'll be surprised how quicklu you get used to it!
Or try black decaf coffee instead - though i would say only Nescafe Alta Rica Decaf is up to standard!

Note: To those of us to the LEFT of the pond! Double cream would be compared to U.S. Heavy Whipping cream.

As a substitute to milk, it is great!

For those who like their tea or coffee flavored, your local grocer should have a sugar-free flavoring (like vanilla or hazelnut) in the form of a "syrup". These can be found in the coffee/tea/creamer section of your store. (Just watch where the artificial sweetner comes from, some of them are bad news.)
