Re: Get My Act together
MJo, I use Stevia regularly - I make a jug of iced tea every couple of days with it. Boil up water, put about 8 tea bags into a pitcher, pour in the hot water. Let it steep and cool down for about 1/2 hour. Take out the tea bags, and then add Stevia. Try a couple of tablespoons at first, stir it up, taste. If you need more Stevia, add it in.
I use only decaffinated green tea/herbal flavoured teas. Makes a nice refreshing drink that's good for you. I stopped drinking caffeine free diet coke after I was diagnosed, and this is a great substitute. Virtually no calories. I rarely drink pure fruit juices now because of the calories, no more pop etc. It's basically water and iced tea with stevia now for me.
