If there is one thing my dentist will hate about me that is
definitely my love for everything sweet. Chocolates, cakes, ice cream, gummy
bears, desserts – name it and I’ll surely love it. Even when it comes to my
coffee and tea, I still like it sweet, not really candy sweet, but just enough
to please my sugar lovin’ tongue.
In my years of drinking coffee (and depending on it during
those sleepless nights and countless overtimes), I have learned to experiment
on different kinds of sweeteners and coffee syrups that works best for my
coffee and tea. If you are a coffee lover like me, I’m sure you have also tried
some of these sweeteners. But for the benefit of our friends who are new to
drinking coffee, here is a list of sweeteners for your favorite beverage.
Natural Sugar
The refined sugar we were all accustomed about is made from
sugar cane and has undergone different process to turn it to the white crystal
like sugar we usually used. However, there are many issues that go with this
kind of sugar as it said to be unhealthy and potentially dangerous. Going for
the healthier alternative like raw sugar, however, reduces these health risks
and can actually be good for you. Sugars like Demerara, Sucanat or Muscovado
comes in rich aromatic flavor that can make your coffee sweeter and healthier.
Agave Nectar
If you go through the natural food section of your favorite
supermarket, you will come across a bottle that contains this sweet concoction
that is comparable, though not identical, to honey. Drinks, salad dressings,
sauces and many desserts can be easily made with this natural sweetener. If you
put it on your cup of coffee, you are sure to experience a rich distinct flavor
that you will surely love.
Honeys
With the natural
healing properties of honey, working as anti inflammatory and anti bacterial substance
for your body, it is considered to be the one of the healthiest kind of
sweetener. It brings a distinct flavor that can suit well with iced coffee and
tea. Mixed it with your low fat milk or cream or other flavored coffee syrup, and achieve a sweet taste that is far from
your usual granulated sugar.
Sugar Free Liquid Sweetener
Sugar Free Liquid Sweetener is a premium sugar substitute
ideal for low-calorie and diabetic lifestyles. It can be used instead of
regular sweetener packets as it dissolves instantly in hot and even in chilled
beverages. If you are looking for a way to sweeten your coffee without worrying
about your sugar level, you can also try this alternative.
Do not get stuck on your usual spoonful of granulated
sweetener. Remember that as long as your coffee is concerned, you can try
anything you want and anything that is available. Start looking for these
sweeteners and make your drinks sweet as you are.
