Note of the Living Deb

I don't know if this is cheating or not... but since I'm lactose intolerant, the only milk I can have is the Lactaid kind... either that or homemade Lactaid (buy the enzymes separately and put the drops in regular milk.) Anyhow, I don't drink the stuff straight, mostly I just put it in coffee or tea. But here's the deal, the Lactaid has the lactose broken down, so it tastes sweet... like MUCH sweeter than regular milk. Soooo... I sorta get the effect of sugar in my coffee or tea without actually putting sugar in it. I guess that's not really true since the sugar was in the milk all along... it just was in a for that you couldn't taste it before it was broken down. But still... it lets me enjoy the sweetness while still feeling virtuous because I'm just putting milk and not sugar in my morning beverages!
