Calorie free sweetener
What it is
The sweetener is typically a blend of artificial sweeteners that mimic the taste of sugar. Each packet is portioned for convenience, offering a consistent level of sweetness. It dissolves easily in both hot and cold liquids.
How people cook with it
Use these packets to sweeten a variety of everyday foods and drinks. They offer a simple way to adjust sweetness to your personal preference.
- Sweeten coffee
- Sweeten tea
- Sweeten yogurt
- Sweeten oatmeal
Simply tear open one packet and stir the contents into your beverage or food. The fine powder dissolves quickly, distributing its sweetness evenly. You can use one or more packets depending on how sweet you like your food or drink. It is ideal for adding sweetness to hot drinks like coffee and tea, as well as cold beverages. It can also be stirred into plain yogurt, cottage cheese, or sprinkled over fruit. For baking, it's best to follow specific recipes that call for sugar substitutes, as results can vary.
How it differs from similar foods
It offers a similar taste profile to sugar but is significantly sweeter per serving, meaning you need less to achieve the desired level of sweetness. Its solubility in both hot and cold liquids is comparable to granulated sugar.
How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store the remaining packets in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the box or container tightly closed. Avoid storing near strong odors. Proper storage ensures the sweetener retains its intended taste and efficacy.
