[–] Remmock@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) I cut my sugar in half by adding cinnamon and nutmeg. Works for coffee as well. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) We use stevia extract instead of sugar. It works very well for tea. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Remmock@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) I’ve tried stevia before. Can’t get over the cotton-candy flavor. I do make sure to use brown sugar, though. Sitting by the back window as I log in for work, contemplating if Anericans have a final straw or if we’ll just keep growing more and more bitter without functionally snapping due to the socioeconomic pressure like steel bars balanced on a beam with steady pressure on both sides, warping and weakening us. Then it’s time to start my shift. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (2 children) I would describe it as more of an anise/licorice flavor, but a very mild one, although that may be because I use extract I get on Amazon and not what they usually sell in the supermarket. You dole it out with a tiny coke spoon sort of spoon and it lasts like 3 years for less than $20, so it's a pretty decent investment if you don't mind the taste. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Remmock@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago You’ve emboldened me. I’ll give it another go and report back! Thanks for the description, as my family does tend to enjoy anise! permalink fedilink source parent [–] Remmock@kbin.social 1 point 2 years ago I decided to give it a shot. Maybe it’s different now, but I do taste the anise flavor. The problem is that while I thought I would like it, it distracted from the flavor. I continued on, thinking I’d adjust but it just kept growing more noticeable until I finally decided it wasn’t for me. Thanks! permalink fedilink source parent
