Sweetners

[Tina Ellis]

Hey guys and gals, I have a question. I have sweet cream and Marshmallow... Can they be used as sweetners? I don't have any of the Ethyl stuff and I've misplaced my Sucrose liquid so I'm trying to figure out how to use those as sweetners.

 

[Teresa P]

Marshmallow is an excellent sweetener. Sweet cream isn't bad for that at all, but if your mix isn't intended to be "creamy," it will be. Vienna cream sweetens too.

 

[BigNasty]

More like mellow. Neither are sweet like EM.
If you have cotton candy flavor that is the same as EM.

 

[Tina Ellis]

No cotton candy or Vienna cream. Can Stevia be used?

 

[Teresa P]

What kind do you have?

I'm interested to hear about stevia.Would liquid stevia work as long as it had no other extracts? I know it's supposed to be twice as sweet as sugar, so I imagine a little goes a long way. I have yet to find the sweet spot for using it in tea. Too little, it isn't sweet, a bit too much and it gets bitter.

Try the marshmellow before adding cream if you can. To me, it adds a creamy texture (not taste) to a mix as well as sweetening it.



It has to be my second favorite flavor to play with. (although I'm not a huge sweetener fan) I only have to use a couple of drops per 30ml mix.

Liquid Stevia Extract

Either Alcohol based, or Glycerite based.

Make a 10-50% dilution in 15-30ml bottle, use VG or PG.
Be sure to mix it well.

At times I would use liquid Stevia in around .5 to 1% of a mix. The one I use I really like was bought from Amazon for around $11.00. It is VG based and is good in coffee too.

Sorry for the late reply, didn't get a notification
To answer your question what I have is called Stevia extract liquid sweetner. It's not name brand but has the same ingredients as name brand. I got it from the grocery store.

 

[Teresa P]

Personally, I've never used stevia. But I've been told not to use the grocery store variety if it has anything in it other than stevia. I was gonna mix up my own with the little packets from Walmart, but was told somewhere on here that there were "additives," so it wasn't a good idea.

 

[Tina Ellis]

With Stevia being the 3rd ingredient listed I'd say that's a no then on what I have. Thanks for heads up

 

[Heabob]

Kinda depends on what the other ingredients are.

I'm using NOW brand Better Stevia Liquid Sweetener in Glycerite.
