I've just started flirting with the vegan diet. I guess I'm trying to slowly ease into everything so I don't get overwhelmed and give up. I'm doing ok with not eating meat, so so with the dairy and not so good with the sugar. I'm was wondering what is the best alternative to sugar to put in my coffee? ( I know that will have to go too but I'm taking baby steps) I see the discussions about the brown rice syrup and maple, but do you put that in coffee? what about sugar in the raw?  Thanks!

I don't know about coffee, but I put honey in my tea instead of sugar.  Maybe you could try honey? I don't know if that's ok for vegans though, I'm a little new.  :)

Try Agave syrup and organic rice syrup. Both are great!!  Honey is good too, but most true vegans dont use it.  Good luck!!
