Stevia leaves


(Cynthia Anderson) #1

I got my leaves and plants in the mail. It will be a while for my plants to grow.

I’m still learning how to use the leaves.

I got some sweetness out of them and it was not bitter but also not very sweet.

I am making an extract using 100 proof vodka. I’ll let y’all know how it turns out

Let us know how it goes for you! Seriously, I’ve wondered about doing something similar but haven’t taken the time to step out and try.

My sister-in-law grew some stevia plants in her herb garden one year. It was really no big deal. The leaves did get quite sweet but they also had a bitter note. What I did was combine a mint leaf with a little piece of a stevia leaf and chewed on that for a while. Tasted good to me. Just never went any farther… got busy… life happens.

Well I spilled the vodka and had to replace it with 80 proof.
