IF 2 cups of sugar per gallon of tea how much saccharin should substitute?

Answer 1

This depends on your saccharin. Sweet'N Low (the pink packages) is a mixture of Nutritive Dextrose & Calcium Saccharin. Those little white pills sold as a sugar substitute are a mixture of Sodium Bicarbonate and Sodium Saccharin.

For the Sweet'N Low, each little pink package is equivalent to two teaspoons of sugar. Since a cup is 48 teaspoons, it would take 24 pink packages to be equivalent to one cup of sugar. Since you are asking about two cups of sugar to sweeten one gallon of tea, then it would take 48 pink packages to sweeten your one gallon of tea.

For the little white pills, each pill is equivalent to one teaspoon of sugar. This means 96 little white pills for your one gallon of tea. The little white pills are commonly sold in bottles of 1,000 tablets so adding 96 to get one gallon of very sweet tea is not unusual.

The little pink packages and little white tablets are single serving portions. If you want a single cup of very sweet hot tea, you could sweeten it with three pink packages or 6 little white tablets.

Taste is such an individual thing. Try a little less and try a little more until you find out how you like it.
