I was coaching a small group of clients a while back and several of them had the same request of me : to come up with something they could add that tastes sweet but wasn't sugar. That was a serious challenge. So, in evaluating that request, I realized that smell was just as important as taste. And half of our food experience is expressed in smell, so making something that smelled sweet was crucial. What sweet smells do I like? Vanilla, cinnamon, cardamom, allspice, pretty much all the "warm" spices. So the challenge was also to create a powder, not a paste because it should be something easily used to sprinkle onto fruits, yogurt, buttered toast, etc. Vanilla powder was the answer. It had an incredible smell and taste, and was just made from whole vanilla pods. Voila! It all came together. Everyone seems to like it. This spice can also be a tea; infuse 1/2-1 tsp per cup of very hot water. Let steep for 1-2 minutes and enjoy. Perfect Fall Cup. Let me know what you think! Sweet Spice Mix use this spice mix to replace sugar 2 TBS vanilla powder 1 TBS ground cardamom 1 TBS ground cinnamon 1 tsp ground allspice
