Recommend a low/no calorie sweetener for hot coffee that doesn't suck?

[fuzzybabybunny]

I'm used to using condensed milk to sweeten my coffee at home. When I go to a cafe I get steamed milk and brown sugar.

I recently tried Stevia with cream and couldn't stand it. Stevia is fine for cold drinks but I find that it doesn't do well at all for hot ones.

Anything people like here? I can't do black coffee. Cold brew is OK but I don't always have cold brew on hand.

What's wrong with sugar? Either eat real food or do without. Shitty substitutes are shitty substitutes. It's better to eat smaller quantities of real food than all the garbage you want.

Honey. PS condensed milk is not low calory...

Splenda (sucralose)...or the store brands of it.

Splenda is the only thing I'll use for artificial sweetener. Though, I don't need sugar in my coffee because I'm not a whiny complainer. Drink it black or with a little milk/creamer. You drink it for the caffeine, not the taste.

I've eliminated most processed sugars from my diet, except the two teaspoons of sugar I use in my morning coffee. If I drink any extra coffee during the day, I'll use splenda or a combination of real sugar and splenda.

This is the best I’ve found yet https://www.amazon.com/NOW-Foods-Be...ie=UTF8&qid=1500226614&sr=1-7&keywords=stevia there are several species of stevia, they’re all a little different.

Isn’t the condensed milk a Vietnamese thing?

Well, it doesn't spoil as fast as milk in the heat so it gets used in the subtropics a lot, not just Viet Nam.

Ya know, I don't think I've seen anyone use condensed milk since I was a kid. Anyone remember the handy can opener that was also a lid? The metal lid had two spikes underneath, and you pounded it on top of the can. Take it off to pour, and put it back to store. I think I might have one in a drawer somewhere.

We used to take the can and suck on it :awe:
