[Food] Sugar substitutes for tea.

[BadFish]

I am looking to cut down on my sugar intake. I have found that tea with no sweetener is not going to work.

This morning I tried Stevia and I can still taste the bitter aftertaste.

Honey is okay but a bit of a pain in the arse.

Any suggestions from you sweet muntha funkers?

A smaller amount of actual sugar?

 

[Bozza]

Just gradually reduce it over time, bit by bit, until you can go without.

 

[Billy the Fish]

Stick with the no sugar. I did it years ago, makes a big difference if you drink a lot of tea.

It took me about two weeks to get used to it, tea with sugar now tastes rank.

I don't like sugar sweet anything really and have always had saccharin in tea since a child.

The modern sweetners taste rank to me and most of them go through me like a vindaloo prune sandwich.

I have tried this but it never sticks. That's why I thought a substitute might work better.

I just stopped the sugar when I was about ten. And no cakes/sweets. I have a salty tooth.

But red label tea, squeeze the bags less than a minute after adding water, metal pot on the hob, pour, add milk, this is nectar.

This is me.

Teabag in the mug, boiling water, 10 seconds, whip it out. No milk, no sugar, just tasty tea.

That’s what I like anyway. Works with everything from tetley to fancy nobby teabags.

Oh, and all my own teeth, and one filling (done 50 years ago)

That's exactly what I did. I used to be a 2 teaspoons man. I cut down to 1, then, when tea tasted nice again, went to a half, then none at all. Just stick to the plan. It works!

Alright I will give this another go.

Small amount of honey, it's what I've done with my coffee.

Two fillings and over 50, you've done better than me.

Did have to have a wisdom tooth removed in an unrelated matter during lockdown. The anesthetic didn't work and I took the choice to be "held down" or go to A&E.

Kicked in as I walking home and I uncontrollably starting laughing walking home on Clapham Junction. Work up covered in blood.

Those were the days

Yeah this was one option. I also thought I would try coconut sugar.

I think I'll give the reduction method another go first though.

Sugar in tea heathen

 

[Thunder Bolt]

There was a sugar shortage in the early 70s so I just stopped having sugar in tea. Tea tastes so much better without sugar, you’ll wonder why you ever added it.
Coffee took quite a bit longer to drink without it.

Yes this Erythritol, zero cals and can barely tell difference, its a sugar alcohol made from fruit sugars, so while technically still a carb, youre body cant break it down and it goes right through you.

youll be fine with the odd teaspoon in tea, but have excessive amounts, like those zero sugar sweets and it will give you the shits!

Not cheap, £8 kilo but closest by far

You’re better off managing your sugar intake. Sugar substitutes, in particular Aspartame are nasty. They’ve been linked with all sorts of ailments, can be addictive and can cause negative Neurobehavioral effects with high consumption.

Not forgetting it also tastes like shit!
