I've gotten used to water and unsweetened tea (when I'm not drinking beer,
wine, or whiskey), but for a while I was adding True Lemon, True Lime,  or
True Orange and a little stevia, which seems not to have the bad gut or
insulin effects that some non-caloric sweeteners have. The True products
are basically powered citrus juices.
