Stevia a replacement for sugar.

I'm not a doctor and I'm not the messiah, just a bloke trying to become self sufficient. Sugar may well be the scourge of the modern world and it's obesity problems and truth be know I love it.  On my farm its easy enough to trade my free range eggs for sugar but I want to trade for more important staples like flour and some proteins which I am not fully producing yet.

Stevia they say is 100 times sweeter than sugar - yeah right. It also supposedly doesn't raise your blood pressure and has ZERO calories where 2 teaspoons of sugar (my dosage in coffee) has 30 calories. I can easily grow stevia in with my other herbs so it seems I might as well learn how to use it.

This is my first experiment with substitution and eliminating sugar.
