New entrance into DIY, need a sweetener that I can buy at the store.

[Wyzen]

Hello all,
Ive recently gotten into DIY, and find that some of my flavors, which are great, need a little sweet added to give it a little extra touch of nice.

Ive read about sucralose, liquid stevia, ethyl maltol (cotton candy), etc.

I would prefer to get something at a store if possible, and would like to avoid mixing powders.

What is your fav? What is the best? What is the cheapest?

Thanks!

I use stevia extract (Now Foods) from local health store - one drop per ml. Works for me.
Ingredients: stevia extract in a base of water and 11% alcohol.
I got 10 ml and the price was in a range of $4-5, I guess.

I've been wanting to try this, if I ever get around to the health food store:

Now Foods, Stevia Glycerite, 8 fl oz (237 ml) - iHerb.com

Stevia, Vegetable Glycerin and Water.
It's listed on the website above for $16.81
Eight ounces ought to last for awhile.

It says "sedimentation may occur, shake well before using." I wouldn't shake it, I'd just let it sit for awhile and then draw some off the top with a pipette and transfer it to a small bottle.

I use this one since it's just stevia and glycerin, if that really matters with such the small quantity we use.
