what do you sweeten your tea and coffee with?

I go black...

And I bet you'll never go back

I haven't so far...

Nothing sweet in the coffee.

Vanilla sugar in hot tea.

Agave nectar or honey for ice tea.

coconut sugar by Madhava (got it on Amazon)

And that is when I happen to sweeten my coffee. I prefer it black or with some heavy whipping cream. But if I want sweet then I just have sweet. I would rather use something natural than something chemical.

Get this. A packet of Splenda contains this: dextrose, maltodextrin, and sucralose. The artifical sweetener is the sucralose. And in the body do you know what dextrose and maltodextrin turn into once we digest them? Sugar. Both of them. They are filling the packet of an artificial sweetener with "sugar" fillers. So, start looking at the ingredients on those artificial sweeteners. Most of them are filled with "sugar".

Do some looking online and you will find out just how many different words there are for sugar when it comes to ingredients. That's how those wonderful food companies hide it.

Remember that real food doesn't contain ingredients. Real food is an ingredient.
Only eat what you can pick, dig or spear. Mostly spear.

Stevia in the Raw granules are my sweetener of choice for everything. I don't care for the taste of liquid Stevia, personally. I steer completely away from artificial sweeteners (no Splenda especially) and I carry the Truvia packets with me when I'm on the go.

My daughter has extreme reactions from artificial sweetners (migraine-like headaches) and after I did some research on them, I can understand why!

Here's my indulgent coffee flavoring: 1/2 cup Stevia in the Raw, 1/4 cup Hershey's cocoa powder (unsweetened, and loaded with anti-oxidants) and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon. I make it as a batch and keep it on the counter. About 1tsp to a cup of coffee - delicious!

IF I sweeten my coffee, it's typically with birch sugar (aka xylitol, also alternately sourced from corn), but sometimes I use actual sugar.

I sweeten my coffee with one packet of the generic BJs brand artificial sweetener. I am a rebel like that.

stevia for my coffee

I use stevia in my tea and International Delights "skinny" caramel macchiato for my coffee no added sugar.

one packet of sugar in the raw for 12oz of coffee

When it comes to coffee, I'm one of those "screw it, I'm having some sugar" people. I've never met an artificial sweetener that didn't make me gag. Even stevia has a sort of chemical tang to me. I've tried using maple syrup, which is fine, but it's the same amount of fructose in the end, so... Coconut sugar is good but very expensive.

Every morning I have 12 oz. of coffee with a tablespoon or so of heavy cream and about 3 teaspoons of raw sugar. At least the fat in the cream lowers the overall glycemic index, as do the eggs I eat with it.

For the most part, I don't eat any other added sugar throughout the day, unless I have a small piece of dark chocolate after dinner, and manage to keep my total carb intake around 100g.

Honey is higher in calories than sugar, and "natural" does not automatically mean better for you. I use sugar. I just don't over do it. What's the point of having tea or coffee if it doesn't taste good?

Normally I drink my coffee black, but occasionally I need something sweet in it. I use either, Truvia, Splenda, or honey. Honey would be good if you don't like the taste of Truvia in your tea.

sometimes i drink my coffee black. Or i'll add 1 tsp of non dairy powdered creamer (10 calories).
i never put sugar or cream in my tea.

I use natural cane sugar or xylitol along with almond milk in my coffee. I've acquired the taste for unsweetened iced tea.

Coffee with heavy cream rocks.

And a lot of it too.
