Benefits

According to herbalism practices, stevia can:

• Support the reduction of added sugars in the diet.
• Promote nutritional habits focused on balance and well-being.
• Offer a plant-based sweetening option for drinks and recipes.

Taste properties

Clean and persistent sweetness, herbaceous and slightly licorice notes. Overdosing may leave an aniseed impression or a greener aftertaste. Use sparingly.

Use

• Add a small pinch to your teas or herbal infusions for natural sweetness.
• Incorporate into compotes, smoothies, or desserts as a partial sugar substitute.
• In homemade blends: combine with more bitter-tasting plants (e.g., artichoke, nettle) to balance the cup.

Tip: to sweeten a tea or herbal infusion without overpowering the aromatic profile, start with a very small amount and increase as needed.

Contraindications and precautions

• Possible allergies in individuals sensitive to Asteraceae.
• High dosage may leave a greener or bitter taste.
• If regularly taking medication (e.g., blood sugar or blood pressure management), pregnant, or breastfeeding: consult a healthcare professional.

Master's Tip

For a balanced cup, place the stevia with the other plants in the infuser, but in a tiny amount. Let the sweetness reveal itself slowly rather than trying to achieve it in one go.
