What's in my pantry? Drinks

• A glass of water with a little fresh lemon. A great start of the day, especially if you have acid reflux and had a late dinner the night before that’s making your morning miserable. Lemon in moderate doses seems to alkalize and balance out stomach acid. I have the hardest time drinking water because of the bland taste, so the lemon helps a lot to give it some flavor. You can experiment with your water flavors by adding lemon, cucumber or orange slices.
• Wholefoods 365 brand of unsweetened rice-milk. You can instead buy Rice Dream at most regular super markets, but I just found it a little too sweet after a while.
• Roibos tea. An herbal tea from a South-African bush that resembles regular tea the most in color and flavor. I was addicted to strong black Irish breakfast tea, but it gave me heartburn, so roibos is my best alternative. It's pretty common now in major supermarkets and coffee shop chains. It's sold either plain or flavored with fruits or spices, like apricot, vanilla, earl grey or chai.
