Any recommendations for sweeteners for tea & coffee ? My wife must have tried 10 brands and all of them taste rank,
Thanks

I can't help, as I don't use sweetener, but it might be worth listing which sweeteners that she's tried (or their main sweetening ingredient) River .

Canderel,sweetex,morrisons own brand,silver spoon.several stevia ones.....to name a few.She says they leave a funny taste in her mouth,i have tried them and have to agree

TBH Canderel is about the best i have found.
It took me quite a while to get used to sweetener as your taste buds are used to sugar, but now its the other way round if i have
anything with a lot if any sugar in it tastes strange.

(standard) Canderel

“It is produced using a blend of ingredients, but its main sweetening ingredient is aspartame.

Canderel is currently the UK's most popular sweetener, followed by Sweetex.” www.diabetes.co.uk/

------------------------------

Sweetex

The main ingredient of Sweetex is sodium saccharin

------------------------------

Silverspoon sweetener

An Aspartame and Acesulfame-K based Table Top Sweetener.

------------------------------

Morrisons own brand sweetener

Sodium Saccharin

-----------------------------

Maybe try a sucralose type sweetener too? I can't see one listed above, although you do say "to name but a few", so maybe she has. Although I see it listed as best for cooking/baking (one such product is "Canderel Yellow".

It may be a matter of finding the best out of what she's tried and then try to get used to it? I guess nothing will be totally identical to sugar, but with time it may become the norm.

Thanks will try that

Tesco have a Sucralose based sweetener River . . . . granulated and in tablet form:

I've tried it, it's ok - nothing special, so I've gone back to using Sweetex . . . . . having used sweeteners in my coffee since Eve was a girl, I find they all leave some aftertaste. Which you do kinda of get used to.

There's almost a case for weaning yourself off sweetened drinks, often I don't bother now.

( If you've any sweetener that you use for DIY, that could also be worth trying! )

Damn, really must learn not to jump in too quickly. Thought this might be about something to sweeten the wife up.

If I didn't use sugar I would use honey but not sure how that figures on the diabetes scale

Anti-freeze is quite a good sweetener.

But you have to ask yourself, "Do I love my wife".

I used to use Canderel but i tried Silver Spoon and found the later is better and sweeter and a little bit cheaper.

[cambermam]

I like Splenda the best, or the Tesco own brand yellow one. Uses sucralose so more natural

Have you tried stevia River ?

Ignore.

I'm being ignorant by not reading properly.
