ktwensel Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 We just bought a Stevia plant (named Steve!) and were wondering how to use the plant as a sweetener? Boil the leaves and use the water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyce Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 but I can tell you to be careful. I can tell you that i am allergic to it. I drank some with tea and ended up having a mild anaphylactic reaction to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktwensel Posted June 27, 2010 Author Share Posted June 27, 2010 Oh my goodness! Maybe Steve should just be ornamental! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jann in TX Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 I don't grow my own plant but that is COOL! I either use the NOW brand or Sun Crystals. Sun Crystals is stevia cut with cane sugar--but only 5 cal per packet and not as strong of an aftertaste as pure stevia. Cooking is also better with Sun Crystals...
