I just discovered Agave syrup.   It's a great alternative to sugar or honey.    Use it in coffee, tea or drinks and you can cook with it too.    Low glycemic index is great for cutting carbs and keeping you healthy.    

 Organic Agave is the perfect sweetening option for those concerned with sugar in their diet or with cutting empty carbohydrates. Agave, sourced from the cactus-like agave plant in Mexico, is an organic, plant-derived sweetener with a glycemic index of only 11. (The glycemic index assigns normal carbohydrate glucose the number 100. Generally, the lower the glycemic index, the less impact a particular food will have on blood sugar levels.)

 Formerly a favorite food of the Aztecs, agave is high in fructose rather than glucose, which allows it to be absorbed slowly into the blood stream, avoiding the "rush" often associated with refined sugar.
