LIQUID STEVIA CONCENTRATE
1 oz NOW Brand Stevia Extract Powder
5.33 fl oz water
Mix carefully and let sit until dissolved. Place in a plastic tip squirt bottle with a tip and cap. (I got mine at a beauty supple store). I was able to get a liquid medicine syringe with fraction of tsp markings, which measured up to 1 tsp. This was free.
1/4 tsp is equal to 1 c of sugar in sweetness.
Liquid Stevia has 0 carbs and the natural sweetener Stevia is recommended by Dr. Atkins, Dr. Eades, and even Dr. Bernstein

From the book Sugar Free Cooking With Stevia, they recommend in their FAQ:
15. What should I look for when purchasing stevioside or stevia blends?
1. A high rebaudioside to stevioside ratio. (Companies may not have this information.)
2. A high purity percentage, preferably over 90% steviosides. (100% stevia is not the same as 100% steviosides.)
3. Always buy from a reputable company.
I notice no bitter taste when used in recipe's...most complaints I have seen have been with respect to other forms of stevia and when used in excessive amounts.
