Sugar

I don’t drink tea, but I drink black coffee without sugar. I cut down gradually by the quarter teaspoonful years ago, now I can’t stand the taste with sugar in at all. I think it must be just what you get used to, and now think you can taste the coffee itself better when it’s not masked by sugar.

Over a couple of months

Miss A I went from 2 sugars to now, 1/4 teaspoon. I cut it down slowly.

My husband went cold turkey years ago. It’s not for me. My nose is still intact!

I've never heard of that.
I bet its expensive, and I'm incredibly stingy.

I gave up sugar in tea and coffee when I was about 22 when it suddenly occurred to me that all those spoonfuls of sugar could be replaced with a couple of cream cakes from a lovely bakery near by. It took a few days to get rushed to it and then I never wanted it again. Now I would find added sugar impossible to drink.

Why not try a more natural sugar such as Erythritol? No calories, and healthier so they say.

I'll try canderel, I think, this time.

My mum went cold turkey and hated tea with or without sugar for a long, long while.
I hate my tea too sugary, but coffee, well I could happily have two or three spoons of sugar in.

I hadn't even thought about going back to sweeteners. Good advice, thanks.

I tried Hermesetas but didn’t like them. Try Canderel. They all have something bad in them but it’s better than snorting coke (I think …).

As long as my nose doesn't fall off and plop in my tea.

Used to take two sugars in tea, cut it down to one, then give it up for Lent, it now tastes awful if somebody gives me sugared tea 😬

I gave up sugar in tea as a teenager by just going cold turkey. It doesn’t take long to get used to. I rarely have strong coffee and I find that usually the milk makes it sweet enough. Sometimes I treat myself to stronger coffee with sugar and milk/cream.

My husband has been using sweeteners for years. Apparently Truvia is ‘health wise’ but it’s quite expensive. Good luck with your project.

I used to use sweetners, then my daughter put her two pennies worth in about them being bad... I used hermaseetas.
Spelt wrong, I'm sure.

I have used Canderel sweeteners for years. I find they are a good substitute. I just hate tea or coffee without either sugar or Canderel.
