what to flavor tea with?
I don't mind the two major brands of SF syrup but they are a bit on the wimpy
side in flavor. if I use enough to get a good flavor it's too sweet. I only want just a hint of sweetness but a decent say raspberry flavor. any idea's? I have to give up diet pop as the acid is killing my guts. -- Knight-Toolworks & Custom Planes Custom made wooden planes at reasonable prices See http://www.knight-toolworks.com For prices and ordering instructions. |

I use Spenda as a sugar substitute. But I hardly ever use it. I'm more into fresh meats and vegetables, and don't care about the "frankenfoods" that much. I eat well, live well, and don't care too much about any of the "substitutes". Since I have lost a lot of weight by going with the basics, now and then I just plain eat what I want without having to deal with a low-carb substitute. If I want french fries or ice cream, I'm going for the real thing. Most of the time, though, I'll be eating soup, meat and fish, and low-carb veggies. That's just my lifestyle, and it works for me. |

0 carb Extracts.
And add Splenda to taste. You find extracts in the spice aisle of your supermarket.

How about a squeeze of lime or lemon, the real thing not the bottled kind, with just enough Splenda to sweeten it to your liking? DH likes his tea using ¾ of the amount compared to the sugar I used to put in it. -- No Husband Has Ever Been Shot While Doing The Dishes |

It's got a unique smooth flavor, and you won't need to add a sweetener. It comes as original, or blended with vanilla, or some other flavors as well. It's naturally caffeine free, and is mild on the stomach. I buy it in a local tea shop. It is actually ground up and fermented bush, so it looks more like slivers rather than leaves. Comes from South Africa. Prices are similar to other loose leaf teas, at around $6(Can.) per 100 grams(4 oz.). -- Knight-Toolworks & Custom Planes Custom made wooden planes at reasonable prices See http://www.knight-toolworks.com For prices and ordering instructions. |

Quoting Steve Knight:
I don't mind the two major brands of SF syrup but they are a bit on the wimpy side in flavor. if I use enough to get a good flavor it's too sweet. I only want just a hint of sweetness but a decent say raspberry flavor. I'd suggest you buy flavored tea to start out with. Celestial Seasonings Raspberry Zinger, Country Peach Passion, Mandarin Orange Spice come to mind as some of my favorites. They don't even need sweetener at all, imo. |
