Draggletail Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 It might sound like a trivial question, the think is I'm trying to stop taking my teaspoon of sugar in tea. I tried no sugar in the hope it might start to taste OK after a week, it didn't so I decided to wean myself off it. I got sort of used to half a spoon, went to a quarter of a spoon and struggled, now I'm on a quarter of a spoon and a bit (I'm using cooks measuring spoons for accuracy I'm struggling aren't I..... So, have you ever given up sugar in tea or coffee? Does it ever start to taste normal? Is it best to wean yourself off it or just stop taking it and go cold turkey?

harestone Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Yes. I gave up on adding sugar in my coffee over 20 years ago. Now if i make myself and the missus a cup and mistakenly take a drink from hers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittenta Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I don't drink tea but I did stop having sugar in coffee. I now can't drink it with sugar, it takes foul! You do get used to it quite quickly and you really don't need it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halibut Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I gave up sugar in tea about twenty odd years ago and if I ever get a sweetened cup now by mistake I find it quite unpleasant. I still take a spoonful of sugar in coffee and find it really not very pleasant without. I suspect you may have managed more swiftly by a cold turkey approach.

Amaranthus Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I gave it up completely. Weaned off slowly, 1 down to half, to a third, to none. Now it tastes lovely with no sugar. My husband made me a cuppa with 1 sugar in the other day and I couldn't stomach it, it made me feel sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinz Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Sugar tends to distract from the flavor of the bean. Tea is a moot point, it's the most disgusting drink on the planet, apart from that south american alcoholic drink made from human fermented phlegm.:gag: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
