Liquid stevia makes a versatile and terrific sweetener and it can be made very inexpensively.
I use liquid stevia almost exclusively to sweeten liquids. This is because it is very stable at room temperature (it does not go bad or get moldy) and it is already dissolved so I won’t get an extra sweet mouthful of coffee in my last sip! It blends effortlessly into hot or cold liquids.
Stevia does not contain carbohydrates nor calories. It has a glycemic index of 0. That means it won’t affect your blood sugar at all.
Simple Liquid Stevia:
1 tsp pure powdered stevia (I prefer NuNaturals or NOW brand Better Stevia)
3 tbsp filtered water
1 oz dropper bottle
Optional Awesome Flavorings:
- Add 3 tsp vanilla, almond, pistachio or even chocolate extracts.
- Add 3-5 drops of Pure essential oils (I recommend DoTERRA brand, please do not consume essential oils if they do not have a supplement label on the bottle!) My favorite flavors are: lemon and orange.
I purchase essential oils from DoTERRA because I trust the company and feel they have a strong business philosophy, care for the environment and products that I can stand behind. If you would like to buy the same oils that I use you can purchase them HERE. Note: There are also some great essential oil recipes on the site!
If you would like to learn more about the company visit DoTERRA.
