For something sweet: Natural sweeteners
While this recipe calls for coconut sugar, there’s plenty of other delicious sweeteners to choose from. From stevia to erythritol and honey, feel free to substitute your favourite.
Here’s a few of my favourites:
- SweetNZ Golden Brown Sweetener / SweetNZ Xylitol Sweetener / SweetNZ Erythritol Sweetener – swap coconut sugar for equal parts SweetNZ Golden Brown, Xylitol or Erythritol.
- SweetNZ Liquid Stevia Pure – sweeten to taste with hot beverages.
- Honey – add 1 teaspoon of honey to your hot beverage when mixing.
