Using Stevia??

[tomboy]

I bought some of the stevia packets, after reading that some use it to sweeten their juices. Question is how do you mix it? Or are you buying it premixed? Also if some of you have any thing you have mixed with it please share.

Hello Tomboy! Liquid stevia can be found in health food stores, comes in a bottle with a dropper, and comes in different flavors, including unflavored (just sweet). I haven't tried it, but I may in the future.

Hey tomboy,

I've been using the liquid Stevia, made by NuNaturals found@ GNC for a few months now.

For a 6ml bottle I will put NO MORE than 3 drops, otherwise it makes it bitter and bad! From all the research I've done it is safe and I've yet to keel over from it, so I'm going to stick with it for my sweetening needs.

I've been rocking on this apple-cinnamon kick for a while and the 3 drops rounds out the flavor very well for me

I just recently started using the liquid stevia mostly cause all my diy have failed miserably and it makes them tolerable to smoke. I try to stick to the 1drop per 2ml method, but more often then not I use 1per1. As far as mixing the packets I would try starting with a 2oz(60ml) per packet mix.

I've been using stevia to sweeten my tea for years. It is very strong, and if you overdo it, it can have a bitter aftertaste.

You can find liquid stevia at your local Vitamin Shoppe (if you have one local) but heres a couple more places to get Stevia that is VG based:

Stevia by Vitamin Shoppe - VS-2493 - at The Vitamin Shoppe

and

Amazon.com: Pure Stevia Liquid Extract - 4 oz - Liquid: Health & Personal Care

If you buy stevia online or locally i would look to see if its alcohol based or VG based. VG based is probably better to use.

EDIT: The KAL stevia is much weaker than the Vitamin Shoppe stevia. I would recommend getting the Vitamin Shoppe stevia or going to your local Sprouts (if you have one) and looking for Sprouts or Sun Harvest stevia. The stevia should be 56mg per serving. The KAL stevia is only 25mg per serving.

Just an FYI some folks can be allergic to Stevia. If you don't know if you are I suggest reading this link. It may also interact with some medications. I am allergic to Ragweed so it is off my list to vape.
