Sugar-free/Splenda coffee syrups in Chicgo.
read this thread, am wondering why one couldn't buy bottles of flavoring and
just put a few drops of say rasberry extract in the water then add splendia to taste, does anyone know is these extracts have sugar/carbs in them, I am thinking of those bottles that are the same size as a standard vanilla bottle or food dye bottle?
