Quick Tip Monday!!!

Well, it was going to be until my husband went to the store and picked up a box of black tea instead of green tea which, in turn, put me in a mad scramble to learn if there were any benefits to these ostracized leaves.

The Benefits of Black Tea… as it Relates to Health
Black tea can help control or even prevent diabetes:

- Research shows that countries which drink greater amounts of black tea have the smallest occurrence of Type 2 Diabetes.
