Making my own sweetener from Stevia herb in my garden

Stevia Plant

Drying of Stevia

Amount I used for my tea.

Little Tea Pot-I purchased from an Asian store for $2.99. Place the stevia in the strainer.

 Steps: Wash Stevia thoroughly, leave in the sun to dry for at least 12 hours. Grind in a blender, and use as a substitute for sugar. Stevia is sweeter than sugar with zero calories. As always, if your are on any medication check with your doctor first if you can use Stevia sweetener. More information about Stevia can be found on the internet.
