Suze- for about 2-3 cups of mixture, I'm using a tab. of raw honey. I find I

can use less because

I'm also adding coconut cream to the mixture.

Well, Ori would probably say not to eat fats during the day at all,

but the MCT in coconut oil keeps my metabolism high. I don't

worry about that little bit of sweet ... Ori said something about

sugar in your coffee probably wouldn't make any difference

one way or another, which I agree with ... and the artificial

sweeteners are worse for a person, IMO (or at least they taste

lousy).
