Guest guest Posted August 22, 2001 Report Share Posted August 22, 2001 I won't quote the exact " ratios " ( as I don't want to misquote), but the herb is the least concentrated vs. sugar, then the powder, then the liquid being most intense. With that in mind, depending on the brand, or your taste (as with any sugar substitute) getting acclamated, I've never had to use enough liquid to get a bitterness factor; one drop on the toungue (for demo purposes) may leave a little aftertaste briefly (though still not bitter), but who's using stevia as a supplement (tincture) anyway? And if you are then put it in a tea/water, which takes what aftertaste it may have away. Steve ps. - I don't know anyone that takes sugar substitutes and puts them directly from package to mouth, anyway! ;o) ----------------------------- I find with Stevia its a quantity thing- I only need a miniscle amount, any more and the bitterness comes though. Great for herb teas- but only a pinch or its bitter. I find the liquid the same, I havnt tried the powder.
