[Guest guest]

Dear Steve,

Here is some data that I filed on Stevia. Unfortunately I do not

have all the references on where I got it but it may be of some

use.............Love Penny

 

 

sugar powdered stevia liquid st.

1 cup 1 tea. 1 tea

1 tab. 1/4 tea. 6 to 9 drps

1 tea. a pinch to 1/8 tea. 2 to 4 drps

I got the recipe from

<http://www.fastlane.net/~kirkland/stevia/plant>>>

<<< Take six cups of fresh stevia leaves(take the leaves off the

stem). Put two cups of water on to boil. when boiling, put the six cups

of stevia leaves into the pot. Cover and boil for 3-5 minutes. Remove

from heat. Steep for about 20 minutes.

Remove the leaves. Squeeze any liquid in them into the pot.

Put the liquid 'tea' into a smaller pot and over a low hear reduce

the liquid by a half,

The end product is a cup of very strong, very sweet liquid stevia

extract.

I tsp of this extract is about as strong as 5 tsp of sugar.>>>>

I have extracted the above from the original article. I would

harvest at a full moon and probably the time of year would determine the

 

sweetness of the leaves. However - I tend now -as it grows year round in

Florida - to use the fresh leaves.....
