This stevia sounds good... Must look into it.

Ok, off the back of this thread i ordered 250g of Stevia online and it came today. So far all i've tried is a tiny bit in a coffee (which i couldn't really taste, so i don't think i used enough) and i need HELP!

Recipes? Tips? Help? Anything would be handy!

it's heat stable so should be alright in cooking...wouldn't work in baking though I dont think cos of the diff in volume.

did yours come with a tiny scoop in the bottle/jar.....if so that is about the same as a teaspoon of sugar.....

just googled stevia recipes and got a heap of sites and blogs come up so maybe have a trawl through them...i personally haven't cooked with it more just used it in tea and on brekky type thing.

Yup I use stevia too, was getting bad headaches with splenda, or other artificial sweetners. So bad for you

No, it came in a giant vacuum packed envelope! I used a teeny bit on the ti of a teaspoon for the coffee. I was thinking of bulking the baking volumes with 50:50 powdered milk and flour, think that'd work?

I'll google for recipes. Thanks!

PL, I personally would stear away from powdered milk... it's not good for you. Having said that, I have no other ideas for bulking up the recipe either.
I bought some Stevia the other day and found it alright in a cup of RLT. But I didn't like it in my Roiboos tea with milk. I will try it for a while and see if i can get used to the taste.
