6 month old won't take formula

My DD is exclusively breastfed. I'm returning to work next month and thought to introduce a bottle in preparation. She's happy to try the bottle but once she realises it's formula, she refuses it. Do I just keep trying or do I need to express and mix with the formula until she's used to it? I don't have a breast pump and don't particularly want to buy one just for a few weeks! Any advice?

@PinkPantherInPants have you tried a few brands? It could be that a different one works better?

@mamablondie33 No, I haven't. Didn't realise they were that different in taste? Have you known this to work for someone?

I'd also try preparing it in a few different ways (more water, less water, warm, colder..).
