Stevia Leaf
by Anonymous on May 8, 2013

I brew tea[s] by the batch and want to add some stevia leaves for sweetness during the brewing process. What would you suggest the ratio be? I brew 2 quarts at a time and use about 1/2 cup of tea mix.

    It just depends on how sweet you want it. I would prob. start with 1 tsp. or a little more of the stevia herb, and if it is not to your liking you can add more or less.

Stevia Tea
by Silverio on May 7, 2013

I recently heard about the beneficial affects of stevia. I bought a half a pound of it, and I am wondering how exactly to make it. Should it be in the mornings? How many times a day? And how to prepare it. Please, all and any answers are appreciated.

    It is usually used in beverages and or food as a sweetener. You can add a few leaves to a cup of tea or other drink. Or you can make a strong infusion or "syrup" and add according to your taste! You can use it at any time of the day as often as you want.

Liquid stevia
by Shanon on Apr 27, 2013

I read you can "tincture" stevia herb and then heat off the alcohol. Sounds like the store bought stuff to me.
I'm going to try it, as store bought is NOT natural. Coca cola and Pepsi own trivia brand and there are 40 steps and chemicles to process it. No thanks!

DIABETICS & STEVIA
by CAROL on Apr 13, 2013

Since I have to count all my carbs, how would you count Stevia in grams of sugar or carbs?

    Sorry, I wasn't able to find any information on that!

Question
by Kaylin on Mar 12, 2013

It says that stevia has very little aftertaste. Why is it that I've heard that it tastes bitter?

    Re: Question
    by Bulk Herb Store on Apr 26, 2013

    Hello! I have used the Stevia several times and it's sweet but its never tasted bitter to me or anyone else that I know of. The Best way to find out is to try it!

how to use stevia herb?
by Kathy on Mar 8, 2013

I currently use Stevia packets to sweeten tea, add to protein shakes, etc. How do I use the bulk, dried Stevia? Same way? thanks

    Re: how to use stevia herb?
    by Bulk Herb Store on Apr 23, 2013

    You can try grinding it to a powder to use but we put it in our loose leaf teas to sweeten!

Stevia
by Kelli on Feb 20, 2013

I currently use sweet leaf stevia so I'm used to it being in sugar-like form. How do you use the cut herb? Do you grind it before using for baking and things like lemonade?

    Re: Stevia
    by Bulk Herb Store on Apr 18, 2013

    For use in cooking or cold drinks, you can try making a strong infusion or syrup and add to your recipes but you won't need to add near as much as regular sugar! In hot drinks you can just steep a small amount of the leaves with your teas!

Stevia
by Kara on Feb 14, 2013

I am a baby in the world of going natural and would like to know how you would use the cut, organic stevia? Do you put it in a food processor and use like sugar in drinks, etc.? I am making homemade toothpaste and it calls for stevia and didn't know if I should be looking for a powder like you can buy in the stores or what. Thank you for any assistance you can give me. Kara

    Re: Stevia
    by Bulk Herb Store on Apr 18, 2013

    Please read comment above. Also, in the toothpaste, we usually use our cut stevia leaves!

Question
by Ela on Feb 7, 2013

Can you grind up the leaves to use like sugar, or should it be steeped it along with the tea leaves?

    Re: Question
    by Bulk Herb Store on Apr 15, 2013

    You can try grinding it up, however it will probably work better to just add a small amount of the leaves in with your tea.

stevia do you make your own tincture
by Bonnie on Jan 31, 2013

wondering if you just use leaves for teas, or if you also have made a stevia condensed form for coffee, bake goods...

    Re: stevia do you make your own tincture
    by Bulk Herb Store on Apr 12, 2013

    Yes for teas we usually throw a small amount of the loose leaves in. For coffee or baking you can try making a strong infusion and add to your coffee etc.

How do I use this and get it to a form I can use in my tea, coffee, etc? Thanks!

    Re: Stevia
    by Bulk Herb Store on Mar 22, 2013

    For a tea, you can just throw a small amount of the leaves in with your tea. For coffee, you can make a strong infusion and add to your coffee according to your taste.

How to use?
by Amber on Nov 29, 2012

How would you use this herb in baking, instead of the white powder (Stevia extract)?

    Re: How to use?
    by Bulk Herb Store on Mar 22, 2013

    You can try grinding it in a powder, or make it into a syrup by boiling 2 cups water and add 1tsp. of the stevia herb that you powdered, reduce temperature to simmering and simmer until it has reduced and thickened to the consistency of a syrup. Strain with a cheese cloth after it has cooled.

Stevia Question
by Michelle on Jun 15, 2012

What is the difference between the Stevia herb and the Stevia that you can by in the store on the baking isle?

    Re: Stevia Question
    by Bulk Herb Store on Nov 21, 2012

    Glad you asked! The stevia we carry here is still packed full of nutrients and completely organic which means no chemicals or harsh treatment! Most of the stevia you find in stores are not organic and hardly have any nutritional value left!

I purchased quite a few herbal books recommended by BHS before heading over here and many of them have been very helpful. Many of the Filipinos are fond of using herbs up here on the mountains and even grow some in their gardens. I lent a friend three herbal books- Practical Herbalism, Growing 101 Herbs That Heal and The How-To Herb Book. She was so happy to see pictures of the herbs she has in her own garden and that she can finally label each one and learn of its advantage and hopefully put it to proper use. Mountains of thanks to BHS! In Christ, Grace
