Can you...question about sucralose
Question for the group...can you use Splenda to make mulled wine?
There's a Food Lover's fair at Covent Garden today and over the weekend (London low carbers may wish to know there's a food lover's market there on the second Friday of every month) and they're selling mulled wine, which I'm particularly fond of. Obviously ordinary mulled wine is out of the question because it's going to be sugary, hence my question about using Splenda. -- Lexin (300/253/182) |

I don't know why you couldn't experiment with it.. but I don't know what
*mulled wine* is! I think most of us pretty much experiment with splenda for just about everything to see what we can do with it. sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

... I don't know what
*mulled wine* is! Hi, Teeb: Mulled wine is heated red wine with spices and subtle sweetener. It's very tasty on cold fall and winter nights. - Anne |

If you could get the real stuff or find a flavored carb-free liquid it might work. -- Bob M in CT Remove 'x.' to reply |

Does DaVinci's have one or more flavors that could be combined that would cover some of the spices? I'd like to try mulled wine if I knew the spices to use. revek |

I don't know all of the flavors of DaVinci's. The flavors I've had probably wouldn't be suitable, but I don't know what flavors would. We need liquid splenda! -- Bob M in CT Remove 'x.' to reply |

I use cloves and cinnamon, usually in a little muslin bag so that they can be fished out easily when the wine is spicy enough. But here in the UK you can buy bags of mulled wine spices ready mixed that look like a teabag, and I don't know what's in those. -- Lexin www.redrosepress.co.uk www.livejournal.com/~lexin LC since 9 June 2003 (300/253/182) |

Typically, cinnamon stick, a couple cloves, a grating of nutmeg, maybe some ginger. The "sweet" spices. Pastorio |

Remember the wine has carbs too. That said, I'd use Da Vinci Cinnamon
Syrup, which you can get from lowcarbmegastore. Or their Spice Blend. -- Jane Lumley |
