I have much trouble with no-calorie sweeteners. A friend uses Stevia, so I thought I'd go and get some for in my coffee.
I get there, and there are TWO: alcohol-free and regular. :think: I asked the "clerk" what the difference was, aside from the fact that one has alcohol in it, and one doesn't. Her answer was that many herbal drops use alcohol as the base, and many people complain that those without the alcohol aren't as effective.
So, with this in mind, I got the cheaper ones: with alcohol.
I'm thinking I regret my choice. The stevia has this sharp bite to it, which I think is coming from the alcohol. I don't want my coffee tasting like medicine!!!
Is it the alcohol that's giving it this bite, or is the stevia got a bit of a bitter flavor to it? It seems silly that a sweetener would have a bitter taste, but the other non-calorie things have an aftertaste to me as well.
HELP!!!
