(Local18)<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"0\" class=\"story_para_0\">In India, tea is more than just a beverage; it is a part of daily life. Many people start their mornings with a cup of tea or enjoy it in the evening to combat fatigue. However, in a fast-paced lifestyle, tea with high sugar content is contributing to numerous health problems, including diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and skin issues<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">Nutritionists and dieticians recommend using natural sweeteners instead of sugar, which are not only tasty but also beneficial for health. Here are some healthy alternatives for sweetening your tea.<\/p>\n<h2>Honey<\/h2>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">Honey is a popular natural sweetener with antibacterial and antioxidant properties. To retain its nutrients, add honey to tea only after removing it from heat. Honey promotes digestive health, aids in weight control, and provides a mild, natural sweetness. It is especially effective during winters for warming the body and boosting immunity.<\/p>\n<h2>Jaggery<\/h2>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">Jaggery tea remains a traditional favourite in many Indian villages. Rich in iron, minerals, and antioxidants, jaggery is a healthier alternative to sugar. Avoid boiling tea for too long after adding jaggery to preserve its nutritional value. Drinking jaggery tea in winters helps provide warmth and alleviates fatigue.<\/p>\n<h2>Licorice<\/h2>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">Used in Ayurveda for centuries, licorice is naturally sweet and offers numerous health benefits. Tea made with licorice can help relieve cold, cough, and sore throat. It can also be combined with cinnamon or cloves for a herbal boost, enhancing both immunity and flavour.<\/p>\n<h2>Date Syrup<\/h2>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\">Date syrup is thick and sweet and should be used sparingly. It contains fibre, iron, and essential minerals that provide an energy boost. Adding date syrup to black tea or milk tea improves both taste and health benefits. However, excessive amounts can make tea overly thick, so moderation is key.<\/p>\n<h2>Dry Fruits<\/h2>\n<p id=\"11\" class=\"story_para_11\">Boiling dry fruits such as raisins and dates in milk naturally sweetens tea. This method not only enhances flavour but also provides essential vitamins, fibre, and minerals. Raisin-date tea is particularly useful in winter, helping to keep the body warm while offering a subtle, natural sweetness.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-865615125 artcta\">\n<div style=\"font-family:Inter;font-size:17px;line-height:29px\">\n<div style=\"font-family:Inter;font-size:17px;line-height:29px\"><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">News18 Lifestyle section brings you the latest on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/lifestyle\/health-and-fitness\/\">health<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/topics\/fashion\/\">fashion<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/lifestyle\/travel\/\">travel<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/lifestyle\/food\/\">food<\/a>, wellness tips, celebrity style, travel inspiration and recipes. <\/span>Also\u00a0Download the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/eng-article-eop\">News18 App<\/a> to stay updated.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-865615125 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>September 15, 2025, 13:17 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-865615125 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/lifestyle\/\">lifestyle<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/lifestyle\/food\/\">food<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> Check Out These 5 Natural Sweeteners To Replace Sugar In Tea For Better Health<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
