So, some high sugar levels in a blood test and Iā€™ve decided to go cold turkey on sugar in tea and coffee.

Bloody hell! How do people drink coffee without sugar?

Any other tips on how to make life even more miserable?

Have the coffee with a small amount of milk. The sweetness of the lactose will probably make it slightly more tolerable

Iā€™ve always drunk it with milk so no help unfortunately :worried:

Iā€™ve only ever drunk coffee black*. If you donā€™t like it swap to something else -tea?

Tea without sugar is no better.

My plan is to whinge and whine until I get used to it.

Why not everytime you drink a black coffee, you think about us and how sweet we have been to you and the coffee will taste so sweet.

Try indian filter coffee then. The chicory in those might cut out the bitterness of the coffee beans somewhat.

I am subjected to such desi wisdom on a daily basis.
It only makes things more confusing.

Donā€™t question our wisdom and just try it.

Indian filter coffee has a sizable amount of dried chicory added which cuts down on the bitterness of the coffee.

Iā€™m the exact opposite, I canā€™t have coffee in any way but black, except for a mocha every now and thenā€¦

i canā€™t help you there, but my handy tip is unless youā€™re drinking it for the taste, just drop it altogether, that might help.

Use monk fruits sweetener, but try to find those not mixed with other sugar alcohols

I was drinking it for the taste of coffee with milk and sugar.

Also, having given up smoking cigarettes and joints, ecstasy, LSD, mushrooms, cocaine, licking toads and every other type of drug, and reducing alcohol to negligible levels, coffee was my last high.

:cry:

Iā€™ve been using Sweetex for about 10 years now.
Doesnā€™t contain aspartame either which is a bonus
