    I'm so happy to learn about heating to evaporate the alcohol! Tinctures are so good, an the option to take a small amount and evaporate the alcohol, and storing in the refrigerator, 'as needed', never crossed my mind. What a GOOD idea. Thank you! God Bless

    You can add a small amount of cinnamon to the dry stevia for a different flavor and medicinal value

    I'm a diabetic trying to go keto (ish). I'm also having a hard time finding things like stevia here in Ukraine, but the quest goes on and I have some leads. We also have a (wannabe) homestead in Maine and will be trying to grow this and other herbs and veggies this summer (our first year together on our farm).
    Call it "the unction" but I decided to start searching for stevia here at YTU and yours was one of the first channels to come up. So glad I stopped by for a visit.
    A beautiful and unashamed Godly woman and spot on advise and homestead howto to boot. You are a true Blessing.

    So pleased with the results of this extract process. Made about a quart of stevia extract from 4 oz. of dried stevia. Nasty green color but works great for my tea and homemade Greek yogurt. ordered dropper bottles from amazon to dispense my stevia extract. I saved the soaked stevia leaves to try adding to dried green tomato artisan bread . . . just for fun. thank you.

    I am just exploring using stevia and Christa's sharing is so insightful down to earth and easy to follow. A joy to listen to her as her voice is so warm and the fact she asks to inspire others is truly remarkable not to mention using scripture verses. Thank you Christa for taking time to produce such videos.

    I'm highly allergic to any type of alcohol... Every time I drink it I have very bad things happen. Mentally, physically, and spiritually... :0( I praise God for setting me free of a 43 year addiction to alcohol. It's been 16 years and counting since Jesus set me free and gave me a brand new life. And HE has taught how to handle life's upsets without booze. It hasn't been a easy road to walk on, BUT I know Jesus is right beside me while I'm going through the rough times. Trust you me there have been a lot of rough times. God never promised us a easy road, but HE did promise to be right there with us as we walk the road called life... Be blessed.... BBE..

      She went to great lengths to emphasize that the alcohol is evaporated OUT of the liquid. Unfortunately, the only thing that "virtue-signaling" alkies can hear is VODKA. Rational people who are alcoholics, know the difference between the alcohol in a bottle of cough syrup and a three day bender.

    Hi Christa, As always, another great video. I have learned so much from you and will definitely be making the Stevia extract. I'll start small - as you recommend. I have been buying it to use in iced coffee but now this is going to be a great savings. And...Oh my goodness what a small world it is. As Cheri shared with you - she and I are FB friends. I was shocked when she mentioned your channel - and she was equally surprised when I told her that yours is my favorite channel!! You provide such wonderful content - and I really appreciate your bible readings. They are so up-lifting!! Thanks for all you do and continued success. Love, Mary

      I wondered the same thing and found the answer to our question on this site www.leaf.tv/articles/how-do-i-remove-the-alcohol-from-drinks/-Bring the liquid to a simmer then adjust the heat as necessary to keep your beverage simmering gently. Do not boil the drink, as this will cause too much of the liquid to evaporate before the alcohol burns off and you will be left with an empty pot.
      I hope this helps you as much as it did me.
      God bless

    Hey sis!! This is so perfect!!! I've always wanted to know how to do this!!! I'm so grateful for this video ..I can't wait to try it!! I have a couple of questions please? What size Sweet Leaf bottle is that? I've never bought one larger than 2 oz. and the bottle you are holding looks larger than that? My second question is, do you think we could add flavoring to them from Vanilla or different flavored extracts? I love the flavored ones, especially the Raspberry flavor that I can't get too often from Amazon from a company in Iceland called "Good Good". They have raspberry, strawberry and grape, but it's my favorite because I don't taste any bitterness at all in those products, even though I like Sweet Leaf Stevia drops and buy those too. Thank you!!

  • @diverdon184

    It is easier to use 97% Reb A powder, water and grain alcohol. The resultant liquid can be twice as sweet as sweet leaf. Just use 3-6 grams of Reb A powder to 1.5 ounces 80 proof vodka. You can dilute it with a few more drops of water since the best solubility is 30% alcohol. 80 proof vodka is 40%. I use grain alcohol/water since I always have it on hand for other uses. Easy. One 100 gram bottle of Reb A powder yields 25 ounces of liquid or 6 bottles of Sweet Leaf. Approximately $7 per bottle.
