Can sugar alternatives be used for cooking and baking?

Yes, many sugar alternatives are suitable for cooking and baking. Some may behave differently to sugar in terms of sweetness or texture, so always follow the product instructions for best results.

Why do sugar alternatives taste bitter in tea but fine in coffee?

Tea has a more delicate flavour profile than coffee, which means the aftertaste of some sugar alternatives can be more noticeable. Certain sweeteners interact differently with the natural tannins found in tea, sometimes resulting in a slightly bitter or metallic taste. Adjusting the amount used or choosing a liquid or tablet sweetener designed for hot drinks may help improve the taste!
