what do you sweeten your tea and coffee with?

yeahyeeeeahnumber1

i use stevia for herbal teas and stuff but I really don't like the taste of it in tea, so I end up using normal sugar. Is there any other natural sweeteners I could try? What do you use?

I use Sweet and Low in my coffee and sprinkle some on my strawberries (mmmmm.....strawberries.....).

EDIT: Sorry, I just saw you were looking for natural sweeteners..... you could try honey, I've heard other people use that.

It isn't a 'sweetener', but I use lemon in my green tea. It gives it a little flavor and I love it. You can also use oranges, grapes, etc.

I use Splenda. Some days I don't feel like using splenda and I use sugar but only 1 teaspoon. I have noticed that once I get used to the splenda one teaspoon of real sugar goes a long way for me...

Coffee Mate, various flavors. It's worth the calories to me.

Nothing. I like my coffee/tea black!

For my iced tea, I make it with only half the sugar (one cup per gallon). Also, I buy flavored coffee and don't add anything else to it.

Stevia at home, splenda at work.

truvia is awesome.

equal or splenda - but prefer splenda - the equal puts a gram of carbs in the log for this app ...

I use nothing for my teas, I like them straight up. Coffee I only drink when it tastes like candy, so basically I don't drink it. :drinker:

Loving my truvia, I got used to it

I've just tried the Domino Light which is a blend of real cane sugar and stevia and it's not too bad, 5 calories per pack.

Agave but that is really high on the glycemic index (as is honey) or coconut palm sugar which is much lower on the index (http://coconutpalmsugar.com/Glycemic_Index_Explained.html).

I mostly fall back on the artificial (sucrolose which is made from sugar) since it is more convenient to carry with me.

IMO sweeteners ruin tea, but I'd probably use a bit of fruit juice if I was going to sweeten it. Maybe a few white grapes?? I do like tea with lime or lemon, though they are not very sweet.

Splenda. I've tried Stevia but just couldn't handle the flavor.

Mist1981

I use vanilla stevia in my coffee and I use lemon in my tea.

Almond Milk... I like a little milk in my coffee and there is a slight sweetness to almond milk that I love.

I don't sweeten my coffee. I add soy milk and ice to it and it's delightful.

For my tea I make a large glass jug of it, half black and half green tea. I stir a tablespoon or two of local raw honey into it for a small amount of sweet. I don't like very sweet things.

hahahahhaa.

Amazing. Anyways, tea I don't sweeten, coffee I use Total Sweet Xylitol natural sugar alternative. My OH loves it he prefers it to actual sugar now.

Dethea

Local raw honey. It's amazing! It's sweeter than sugar, so you don't need very much.

Coffee Mate, various flavors. It's worth the calories to me.

I agree... I don't F around when it comes to coffee. Although I do prefer International Delight over CoffeeMate.

Laurayinz

local honey for tea, Truvia for coffee.

I almost always drink it clear , but I've tried honey, lemon, and agave (not altogether at once though :P), which are all natural!
