I don’t know what the big deal is about REAL NATURAL SUGAR.
It’s only about 16 calories per teaspoon.
When I was a kid, back in the 60’s, there were ‘cyclamates’ that were used for sweetening. Diet drinks actually tasted good, with no aftertaste. Pre-sweetened Kool-Aid packets were 10 cents. ......................
Hubby is a diabetic.
I cook from scratch to avoid added sugars.
And we usually drink unsweetened teas or seltzers.
If do I need to use a sweetener when cooking, it’s usually pure honey.
I put honey in my, tea, too, on occasion.
