Sweetleaf Toffee Stevia: It's ok, but how much do you use to get some flavor?

No, don't use much more, the taste will become very unpleasant if you over do it. I have read several reviews of the SweetLeaf Stevia and some people mention that they are disappointed by the fact that the flavor is not more profound. It probably is true. My favorite flavors are chocolate raspberry and valencia orange, but they all are very subtle, not IN YOUR FACE sort of thing. So this is probably the best you will get as far as the flavor goes, but you are still getting the benefits of using the 'good for you' natural sweetener. If flavor rather than sweetness are important to you, there are some choices right here on Amazon (and I am sure you have looked into that). When I put "natural toffee flavor" in their search engine, two products popped up, both with favorable ratings.

It is much, much sweeter than sugar in terms of volume. It is a slightly different-tasting sweet as well, but I like it very much! Use just a little (I refill smaller dropper bottles with this bottle of stevia) at a time and you'll figure out what amount is best for you. A little goes a long way!

Stevia is probably the best sweetener there is as far as health is concerned. It's all I'd use if I didn't dislike the aftertaste. If you're happy with it, you should definitely stick with it.

We have done some baking with it. If the recipe calls for 1 cut of sugar, we substitute 1 cup of unsweetened apple sauce and then add the Stevia until we think it is sweet enough. We have not yet figured out how much Stevia to use to equal the sweetness of a cup of sugar in a given recipe. So far...we have done good using the taste method.

I would use at least two, if not more depending on the amount of water you'll be mixing them with. The flavor is extremely mild and I believe the caffeine content follows suit. Very convenient though even if you do need to use more!

Yvette - They list cocoa powder and stevia leaf extract as a sweetner, which is basically what I taste in the product. However, I do not know if other flavorants that are NOT listed on the container are used.

I actually like Cafix better than Roma -I use a rounded teaspoon with 7 drops of stevia/ 10 Oz cup along with 1/2 and 1/2 to make it more like coffee. Also a bit of ground Cardamon and / or Cinnamon enhances the flavor for some people

I like the liquid because I can put in a specific amount of sweetness. With th I brand there is a dropper. So if I add 5 drops to a beverage and I want it just a little sweeter I can add another 2 drops. There isn't that much control with the powder.

I don't think so, but taste is such a personal thing. I've read where some people feel there is an aftertaste but they get used to it. I really like it for certain recipes and I tend to only use it for those recipes since it is more expensive. I use my erythritol, xylitol and stevia most often.

Along with lots of other herbs, etc., I add 1 tablespoon to my morning green drink,... every day. And, I use a little stevia to sweeten the drink. :-)

No, none at all. Sweetleaf is one of very few that does not have a bitter aftertaste.

I like my hot tea sweet. At first, in an effort to get it as sweet as I wanted, I would use to much, making the tea bitter. Now I use five drops of the Stevia and a rounded !/8 teaspoon (Heaping half of the little pink spoon that comes with it) of powdered Sweet-n-low. Stevia is supposed to be the best of the 'natural' sweeteners, and Sweet-n-low is supposed to be the best of the 'artificial' sweeteners. Mostly it is a matter of personal taste. To me this is a good combination for my tea, and the addition of a spoon of honey really puts it over the top. Yumm.

For myself, most of the sweet leaf products have little aftertaste. But I have been using stevia for several years. I really like the lemom drop and mandarin orange. They are my favorites. But I use many flavors by sweet leaf.

What I've found is that that information is proprietary and they don't want to give it out. The nutrition information only lists the 4g "sugar alcohols" (i.e. erythritol) per serving size, but not how much luo han. When I was mixing my own stevia-erythritol blend, I found that a 1 : 250-300g ratio will make it taste something like this, where the stevia isn't too strong with the aftertaste (Truvia for instance uses too much stevia and it still has the aftertaste). So for 10g of erythritol to sweeten a cup of tea or something, you would add about .03 g (or 30mg) of stevia, or a single 45mg scoop that comes in some stevia jars would be good. So the luo han should be similar; perhaps with a lesser ratio since it doesn't have quite as bitter a taste.

Sweetleaf Stevia was the first stevia product to come on the market and is pure plant and plant fiber. I think asking the ingredients is a good idea because not all stevia products are pure plant. I actually use it daily for my coffee and other times I use it for my oatmeal, sweetening up tart berries, and anything that just needs a little bit of sweet. There are no calories, and unlike the old saccharin products and even some modern day sugar substitutes, Sweetleaf Stevia is not a synthetic product. And, it tastes good!

I usually do about 30-35g. It's really a matter of preference honestly. If you don't mind a plain powder water flavor or don't want the extra calories stick with water. I drink that way most of the time. When need a slight change I mix in some powdered chocolate or flavored bcaa powder.
