    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    Lemon for my tea -- doesn't sweeten it, but takes away a bit of the bitterness. I also will mix a bag of natural raspberry tea and a bag of green tea - adds a bit of flavor - -and try Mint tea - very refreshing!

    Coffeemate of other brand sugar free creamers -- 1 tbls won't hurt anything.

    I drink tea but I don't sweeten it. I used to and it got out of hand. I was up to FOUR packs a few months ago. A friend suggested I drop by one pack a week until a hit zero. It made the process painless and I'm leaving a lot of teas taste better without sweetener. With that said, it needs to be a quality tea brand. Lipton teas are not good alone (they're free at work so i drink it when I'm out of green tea). Bigalows, Republic of Tea, and a few others are great without sweetner!

    However, I love sweet coffee so I just try to stay away from it for the most part. I could drown myself in a nice caramel machiato (sp?) and die happy :)

    Normally I don't add any sweetner but if I fancy it sweet then I add honey and only then to my coffee (1/2 to 1 tsp in a mug) not sure how it would work with tea as sweet tea never tastes right to me lol :)

    i still use sugar, although less of it.
    for coffee, the flavored creamers are good. most tisane teas i buy dont need sweetening, but most of the black and green teas i buy do need it (especially the chais and the earl greys). i'd use other stuff but it tastes weird to me

    I like sugar. I need sugar & coffee & creamer. I am a terrible person to live with without it. I will fully admit I am addicted, and PROUD.

    To perform as a good citizen in society, I need the white bad sugar in my coffee.

    Plain & simple

    In my coffee, a little bit of pure maple syrup when I'm home (the good stuff, not table syrup), a bit of sugar when I'm out. In my tea, a tiny bit of honey.

    Nothing anymore, just milk... You can get used to not having a sweetener, the milk takes the edge off the bitterness

    Coffee: Nothing. But I must have skim or 1% milk in it.

    Tea: Two teaspoons of sugar, but I prefer to have a tea I can drink black, such as Harney & Son's Hot Cinnamon Spice tea, which is naturally sweetened by cloves and cinnamon and has no calories.
