  • Want to use less sweetener in your coffee?

    Put cinnamon in it. I'm one of those people who like hot milk and sugar with a little bit of coffee mixed in. I would add 3 or 4 packets of sugar and about a 1/4 mug of cream to my coffee. Now, I add one packet of splenda, a little bit of cream and sprinkle some cinnamon on top. I can't believe how good it is!

            I do cinnamon with coffee, too. Great minds think alike! LOL

            What I do is sprinkle the cinnamon in with the grounds before brewing, that way, I get the delicious taste of cinnamon without the grit. It's yummy.

                Cinnamon is very, very good for you too. Research indicates it may stabilize blood sugar, has a good effect on cholesterol, and is even anti-yeast.

                  Nice tip Susan!
                  And yes... cinnamon is wonderful for blood sugar issues as Momtomany said. Didn't know about the cholesterol and anti yeast advantages though. Cool!

                    Just the smell is supposed to increase cognitive function and memory as well.

                    I now buy cinnamon in the big cans....
