I purchased a pound of green stevia powder and have been researching how to use it. It is not like the liquid stevia most recipes are designed for. I have only used it in smoothies, so far, but it was good! One teaspoon sweetened the entire 8 cups of smoothie! I will still use honey sometimes, though, to get our raw local honey in us!
According to various sites:
2 Tbsp. Stevia Powder = 1 cup sugar
OR 3-4 tsp. = 1 cup sugar...it depends on the brand you buy.
The recipe to make stevia concentrate is 1 teaspoon of stevia leaf powder mixed with 3 tablespoons of water. That gives you one ounce of stevia liquid concentrate.
Where a recipe calls for sugar, simply substitute one tenth the amount of Stevia powder and leave out the sugar, which usually works well.
For those who experience cravings for sweet things, simply mix half a teaspoon of powder with a large glass of water, refrigerate, and drink as required!
