Stevia

[Cruncholi]

I just tried Stevia for the first time ever. My secretary has a bottle of it. It tastes like licorice--not my favorite. Is it supposed to be dark brown in color? How do you use it?

I use stevia powder in little packets like splenda and I use it on my oatmeal or cereal. It doesn't taste any different to me than sugar when used like this. I've never bought the liquid and based on your...non-love for it...I probably won't.

Where do you get these?

I use the liquid stevia to sweeten ice water (about 3 drops in a glass) or tea.

I add a powdered stevia with fiber in my morning smoothie if I need a bit of sweetness.

I never noticed it tasting like licorice. Maybe you took too much (easy to do, because it's so sweet).

I buy it at a specialty food store called Central Market, which is here in Texas. I LOVE Central Market! You might also find it at places GNC or any natural food store.
