Decent tea actually tastes really good.”

I don't drink much tea. I'm a coffee man.

They do use a combination of both. Why I will never know! I used to love orange Tango until they ruined it a few years ago. Same with Lilt & Fanta.

Only ones currently left untouched are 7 Up & Sprite both of which I can drink but am not that keen on.

I've been curious to try some chocolate (soya) milk sweetened with whatever powdered sweetener is sucralose based. As per another thread, I weaned myself onto sucralose, and now sucralose (and sucralose + asefalmine-k) sweetened drinks taste normal to me. I was hoping that soya milk + sweetener + cocoa powder would be a sufficient recipe. But any advice as to proportions/amounts would be appreciated.

To me personally it is the most like sugar I've found.”

I agree with you. I have recently started using this and it's the nicest sweetener I have had yet.

I used to use Canderel.

I am not a fan of it. It doesn't seem to dissolve. I thought there was paint in my mug when I first tried it!!!
