Stevia has a different taste than sugar, but it tastes oh-so-good in tea. I really like sugar in my tea. I’ll go without it for green tea, mint tea, and ginger-mint tea. I’ve reduced the amount of sugar I use by a small amount, but I feel guilty having black tea because it requires more sugar. Stevia would be a guilt-free answer! It comes in liquid and granule form, and is great with yogurt.
