Can anyone recommend any brands of sugar-free drink flavouring available in the UK (high street or online)?

I have been using some citrus flavour electrolyte tablets, but I think they are now affecting my number 2s! :flushed:

So I am planning to try my own recipe that I found on here, but would like some flavouring for variety. The drops sound a good idea as the package will be small, but I am open to larger quantities also.

Any recommendations, please? Many thanks!

Personally I like these -

Thanks, I’ll take a look. I’m still experimenting with sweeteners (generally trying to avoid them) and have found I don’t react well to Xylitol. I think I am ok with sucralose but not tried Stevia yet. I have heard people are generally ok with Stevia though.

It’s very idiosyncratic. You just have to experiment with the different sweeteners, so that you can figure out which ones work for you and which ones you have to avoid.

I have found that after a couple of years without sugar, I need much less sweetness. For example, unsweetened chocolate, which used to taste unbearably bitter to me, is now quite tasty. I have to be careful when cooking for carb-burners, because they don’t like the lack of sweetness when I go by my own taste.

Thanks. I have found that I don’t react well to Xylitol, Aspartame and Acesulfame k. Sucralose seems ok.
I’ll have to try a few options.

I have already discovered I now prefer less sweetness, after less than 6 weeks, so I’ll watch out for cooking for carbivores too, thanks.
