Stevia 50gm Foil Bag

Stevia rebaudiana is a South American herb with a very sweet taste.

Commonly used as a natural alternative to sugar or other forms of sweeteners.

As Stevia does not affect the body the same as sugar it appears to maintain a healthy blood sugar level, and therefore would be suitable as a sweetner for those on carbohydrate controlled diets, diabetics and those wishing to maintain their blood sugar levels or avoid sugar and other sweetners.

Traditionally used in South America to sweeten Yerba Mate.

1/4 teaspoon for a cup of hot tea/infusion to start with. In our iced tea recipes we use 1/2 a teaspoon  per cup,  as when the iced tea has cooled it seems to lose some of its sweetness. Please also remember the longer you are brewing the infusion with added Stevia, the sweeter it will be.

We'd love to hear your comments on using Stevia and the quantities you use for different teas and infusion, so please feel free to add a comment using the "Add your comment" box below.
