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.

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.

Hi, Teeb:

Mulled wine is heated red wine with spices and subtle sweetener. It's very
tasty on cold fall and winter nights.

There would be no reason you couldn't use splenda, EXCEPT that I've found
heated splenda of the type found in the US (with maltodextrin or dextrose)
to have a nasty aftertaste after being heated. If you could get the real
stuff or find a flavored carb-free liquid it might work.

Hrmmm. What spices are used? 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.

That's a good question. 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!

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.

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

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.
