Need Help with Stevia Subs

[Guest guest]

Hi all:

I have a question about using stevia. I bought some liquid stevia at Copp's

and would like to use it. I have a really hard time with the gfcf recipes

anyway, though, so I'm really hesitant to make any substitutions. How do

you acount for the bulk of say, 1 cup sugar, when you substitute a liquid

stevia. The amounts are really different anyway, since I understand that

stevia is much sweeter than sugar.

I plan on starting Ebony on her acidophilus plus and low sugar, low yeast

diet after I get home from the hospital (having a baby on the 5th) and would

like to get this all staightened out in my head beforehand.

Could someone, who maybe uses stevia, let me know what they do for

substitutions. (In case it makes a difference...the brand name of the

stevia I bought is Now Stevia liquid extract.)

Thank you so much!!!!

From the Stevia Cookbook (and it works...I use this)

1 cp sugar = 1 tsp stevia powder = 1 tsp stevia liquid

1 Tbsp sugar = 1/4 tsp stevia powder = 6 to 9 drops stevia liquid

1 tsp sugar = 1/16 (pinch) stevia powder = 2 to 4 drops stevia liquid

To make your own " working solution " stevia liquid, use 1 tsp stevia powder

to 3 Tbsp water...store in dropper bottle in the fridge. You get more for

your money this way.

Peace,
