Guest guest Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Hi Camille. I like Stevia leaves from the plant. They make a great herbal tea. My new favorite that I just tried last week is: diced Ginger Root, Orange Peel, crumbled, dried Stevia leaves and Lemon Grass. After letting the tea sit and steep for at least 15 minutes, I then strain it before drinking it. Really, really good. Do not purchase the processed white powder Stevia. It's ucky! You need to find dried leaf either cut or powdered. I think that honey is as good or better than Stevia. They are very close in my books as Stevia does lots of great things for the body and honey helps allergies and also has anti-biotic properties. Tomorrow I will post the benefits of Stevia on the Herbal Remedies list and you can decide which one to use. Maybe you will want to use both as I do. I think they are both excellent sweeteners!!

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Hi Robin. Thanks for asking. I personally don't like refined, white Stevia. I'd rather stick to the leaf = unprocessed. I find that the white granules do not dissolve easily in a hot herbal tea and for me it has an after taste (a bit bitter). This after taste has turned a number of people off of Stevia and I think this is a shame. It is such a good herb and I just prefer the most natural. Robin if you like the powder go ahead and use it. I just don't recommend it because I think the leaf has a much better taste for starters. In addition, I don't know how they make it white when the actual leaf is green. As far as the liquid, I notice the same after taste. The process used to make it? Again I don't know. It may be fine but since it takes research and believing what I'm told, I'd rather just have the leaf. Does this explain it? Any more questions let me know?

Hi Valorie: I’ve been using the packets of Stevia and they taste good! Are they not good to use tho?
