A Few Tips When Using Stevia

*Do not use in place of honey, or in carmelization, as it may alter the consistency of a recipe.
*When removing all of the sugar from a recipe and replacing it with stevia, increase the liquid amount in the recipe ie: milk, water or eggs. Not too many eggs though as it may make your recipe tough. Applesauce is a great bulk substitution.
*If you do not require diabetic safe recipes, but would like low calories, you may remove most of the sugar from your recipe and only add a small amount of sugar and some stevia.
*Baked goods do not brown when using stevia as they do with sugar, so insert a toothpick into the centre to test for doneness.
*Some breads will not rise without sugar to activate the yeast, although there have been some reports of successful bread making with stevia.
*Whisk stevia into egg whites before adding to a batter.
*Stevia blends well with the flavours of lemon, vanilla and carob.
*If the recipe calls for the use of a blender, add stevia at the beginning of the blending.
