Do you keep some on hand or always make it fresh?
I keep some on hand in the winter months. Just keep it in the fridge.Originally Posted by bacpacker

I just got this in an email. I tried growing stevia this summer but I had to leave and when I finally got back it had died. So I will try again this year.

I had a stevia plant for a while! A lady I used to give riding lessons to gave me one as a gift. I would periodically just strip a branch of the leaves, let them air dry, and grind the dry leaves up in my fingers, over drinks.
It does have a bit of a flavor, I mean, it's not like sugar. But it is very sweet, and once you get used to it, it's great. I never did bake with it, that I can remember, mostly just used it in tea.

I don't know if anyone has posted this, so I will pass along how I make elderberry tonic. Since using it, I haven't been really ill for 3 years. I get my dried elderberries from Herbalcom, link http://www.herbalcom.com/
To make the tonic take a clean sterile 1 qt jar and fill it 1/3 full of dried elderberries (about 1/4 lb mas o menos) fill the jar to the shoulders with vodka. I have used pricey and cheap vodka and found that cheap works best for me. YMMV. Store in a cool dark place for one month agitating every third day. It is ready to use after one month. You can strain out the elderberries if you wish. Leaving them in increases the strength of the tonic over time.
Take one TBSP 3x daily at the onset of cold or flu symptoms until symptoms go away. (In my experience this is 2 days at most). As a preventative (I was going to use prophylaxis, but Sniper would get the wrong idea,lol) take 2 tsp before bed daily.
I have given away 3 pints of this so far this flu season and have "cured" all 3 folks. It really works!

I am going to try to grow stevia again this year but differently. I have had the seeds in the freezer for months. Now I put some in my cup in damp soil covered and in the fridge. I'll pull them out soon and put them under heat and keep them damp but not wet and see how that works. I know it's almost impossible to grow from seed so I'm going to try some different ways and see what works since there are so many opinions out there.
I apologize for nothing...
