Guest guest Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Any kind of after taste or herby taste?

I took 4 or 5 small leaves from my plant outside and I wanted to see what would happen once they dried and I ground them up. I believe I should use MORE than 4 to 5 leaves to get a finer powder. But I did taste the final product. SWEET AS SUGAR. Here you go!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Fjv3eFb5oQ Melody > > > > Thanks for the info.

If you've not used the green stevia powder before it's quite different than using the store products which are mixed with other agents. Green stevia should be allowed to settle after mixing into say, iced tea or other beverage or it will taste pretty awful. Very tiny amounts will suffice. in smoothies it should be blended in with your other ingredients. > > I'm going to try brewing a few whole > > Leaves along with tea bags- see if that method works. > > Deb > > Sent from my iPod > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Sweet as sugar but does it have an after taste like the corn sprouts?

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 You know the more I watch on u tube and other places about sprouts and recipes and such, its seems there are 2 things in common I need to get that are crazy expensive. A Vitamixer and an Excalibur dehydrator...lol Also need to get a small coffee grinder as well...lol  Want to understand the Bible better?  FREE  studies.  For more info Just ask! ________________________________ To: sproutpeople Sent: Sunday, June 10, 2012 11:46 AM Subject: Re: First time sportier  Looks great, Melody! If you had let the leaves get REALLY dry-beyond the " crunchy " point, they would have made an even finer powder. A coffee bean grinder is a great way to buzz up herbs (provided you don't use it for coffee beans too-can transfer flavor of coffee to herb, and herb to coffee-I keep a grinder just for herbs, seeds, nuts, etc) BUT...if you have a larger amount of leaves and do them in the Vitamix, it will be a lovely fine powder. > > > > > > Thanks for the info.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 I'm jealous. Okay what are the ingredients? I may check to see if I have that one. I have an icecream maker but have never done icecream in the vitamix and should. I love icecream. Of course I like Jiff or is it Jiffy? I bet that chocolate and banana would realy make whatever peanut butter I used taste good.  Carolyn Wilkerson  To: sproutpeople Sent: Sunday, June 10, 2012 10:46 PM Subject: Re: First time sportier  I always recommend that people make chocolate/peanut butter/banana ice cream AFTER making peanut butter in the Vitamix to " clean " the container from making the peanut butter!

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 I saw the Vitamixes and the sale of reconditioned items but I didn't see any recipes on this.
