    I *hate* the taste of aspartame and you really can taste it in anything.

    Our lemonade now is a recipe I got when we visted Florence. For 1 glass:
    1 frozen slice of lemon, water, sugar to taste (usually 2tsp).

    This summer I've been getting through a net of lemons, which i've sliced & frozen every 2 weeks. Quite cheap though.
    Still wish I could buy a TARDIS instead of a house!

    Nnnnnnnggggghhhh. Trying very hard not to start an off topic vent here.... BUT.... Has any body had any luck finding a childrens paracetomol (or ibuprofen) suspension that is free of artificial sweeteners, especially aspartamine.

    We have been using Calpol, not sugar-free but the ordinary stuff. Does have some additives but no aspartame or saccharin, though does contain sorbitol if I remember rightly. Like ziggy's suggestion, never heard of infadrops so may have to investigate!
