add more coffee if its not strong enough

mess about with it and youll get it right
dont forget though its about 60 cals a cup

just had a squizz at my packet and it says 110 per mug. so maybe its calorie saving your way too. ;D

tried it and it works........I added four more teaspoons of coffee, but thats my taste.........

Thanks again Cathy,

best way to work out the calories is weigh the coffee mate and see how many cals in that

then weigh the sugar  etc

coffee doesnt count cos its almost calorie free

you could use splenda or half spoon sugar

and
coffee mate lite

Splenda have a big advertising campaign on TV at present ... it's sucrose basically and has been going in America for years.  It only has a fraction of the calories of sugar, looks like sugar and can be used in drinks/cooking, etc.  I've been using it for a while, it's gotta be better for you than Aspartame and other "substitutes".

It's £4 something for a big jar.

cathy_3

its only £2.29 here! lol

your right Mimi, thanks for that, no aspartame which is horrible stuff, and no orrible after taste either
some people say they get one but I dont.
