Dosage Suggestions for Stevia Powder
🔹Beverages (Water, Juices, Soft Drinks, etc.)
Start with 1/4 teaspoon of Stevia Powder per 250 ml (8 oz) of liquid. Stir well and taste. Adjust the amount as needed, but be cautious, as Stevia is much sweeter than sugar.

For Other Liquid-based Foods (Soups, Sauces, etc.):
Add 1/4 teaspoon per serving and mix thoroughly. Taste and adjust if necessary.

🔹Coffee/Tea
Stevia powder blends easily with hot beverages like coffee and tea:
For Coffee or Tea:
Use 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon per cup (8 oz) depending on how sweet you like your drink. Start with a smaller amount and increase if necessary.

For Iced Coffee or Cold Brew:
Add 1/2 teaspoon per 250 ml (8 oz) of iced coffee. Stir well as Stevia dissolves more easily in hot beverages than cold.

🔹Smoothies
Add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon per smoothie (approximately 250-350 ml of liquid). If you’re blending fruits like berries that are tart, you may need a bit more, up to 1 teaspoon.

🔹Baking (Cakes, Cookies, Muffins, etc.)
Replace sugar with 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of Stevia Powder for every cup of sugar called for in the recipe. Since Stevia is much sweeter than sugar, start with the lower amount and adjust based on the recipe and personal preference.

*Note: You might need to adjust other ingredients like liquids or bulking agents (flour or starches) to compensate for the lack of volume that sugar provides in baking.
