hi ive noticed a couple of comments about tea bags on the forum i drink a lot of tea with sweeteners i never considered tea bags when i was thinking about carbs is this some thing i should change any advice
 
I do not believe there is any more than trace amounts of carbs in any tea bags. Whats then added to the tea after the hot water will make all (if any) difference.
 
Tea is carb free, it’s the milk and any sugar you put in that you’d need to carb count.
 
Depending on your reaction to the sweeteners.. some have been known to cause an insulin response... which is not great. You'd be better off reducing or ditching them entirely and just having the tea with a lactofree milk.
