Saunders Malt Extract for a warming drink.

$10 at my local IGA, one tin lasted me all Autumn/Winter last year, and then some this year.

Its a delicate taste, so i only have milk and water with it, extra sugar isnt needed in my opinion. I add the milk first, i feel like it burns a bit if hot water goes in first.

Its super cheap per cup, less wasteful (no teabags), doesn't leave that dryness that tea tannins leaves in your mouth, and doesn't have the caffeine high of coffee.

Theres apparently a bunch of vitamins that are meant to be pretty good for ya, but i'm not great on understanding all that vitamin a, b, c, stuff so i'll leave it there.

That’s right! I used to sometimes stir a little bit into hot soy milk. It is very sweet and goes far

Yeah, i don't know much about how much sugar is too much, but if its got one downside i'd guess its pretty sugary stuff.
