Nature’s Stevia Healthy Recipe Ideas
GENERAL GUIDLINES
Here are some guidelines on what to do and not do with Nature’s
Stevia. Do not use our products with:
• direct heat
• microwave ovens
• metal water containers
You can cook with stevia. Just remove from stove top and then
add it. Also, you can bake with it as long as the temperature is at
350 degrees or under.
Most importantly, be creative and enjoy!

BEVERAGES
COFFEE
Coffee
Directions:
Start with one drop of any Stevia flavor or plain or combination of flavors. For
example, if you want sweet coffee with a hint of hazelnut, add 1 drop of Hazelnut
Stevia and 7 drops of Plain Unflavored. Be creative and enjoy.
Note: Always use purified, distilled or fresh spring water for the best tasting
coffee.
Iced Coffee
Directions:
Brew a pot of coffee and chill. In a glass add 8 oz coffee, 4 oz. milk, 15-25 drops
of Natures Stevia (any flavor or mix flavors) add ice. Yum!
Chocolate Coffee (Mocha)
Directions:
Add 2 teaspoons of organic cacao and 10 drops of Plain Unflavored stevia in
coffee cup. Fill with coffee and cream. Add an additional 4-8 drops of Plain
Unflavored if needed. For a twist, add any other stevia flavor. Be creative and
enjoy.
2
Espresso
Without an espresso machine. Makes two 3oz. espressos.
Directions:
1. In your coffee maker add 1 cup water and 3-4 tablespoons of Arabica
coffee or your own fine ground coffee. Do not brew yet. (I like 4 tablespoons of
coffee)
2. Warm your cup(s) in a microwave or fill with hot water from your sink to
warm them.
3. If using milk. Put the milk in a bottle and shake until it is frothed. Pour milk
into a small pan and warm it on the stove.
4. Start coffee maker
5. Next add Stevia to the warm coffee cup. 1-8 drops (I like 3 oz. espresso
and 6 drops of Plain Stevia and 1 oz. of milk)
6. As soon as the coffee is done brewing mix and drink. (This part is key) The
longer it sits after brewing the more bitter it will be)
As you can see it is nice to have an espresso machine. :-)
Lattes
Directions:
Lattes require two parts milk to one part espresso. (Most people get this
confused and add equal parts of both)
Cappuccinos
Directions:
Cappuccinos contain equal amounts of each according to the Coffee Brewers.
All of our Stevia Flavors for Coffee work well. Start with 4-8 drops. Don’t be
afraid to mix the flavors to create your own coffee drink.
3
TEAS
Tea
Black, Green or White Tea: Everyone likes different strengths of tea. But these
rules everyone should follow.
Brewing time for Black Tea is 5 minutes. Water temperature 160-170.
Brewing time for Green and White Tea is 3 minutes. Water temperature 160180.
Note: Brewing Tea longer than these set times will not increase the strength of
your tea. It will only impart a bitter off taste to your tea. Purified, Fresh Spring
or Distilled water taste the best. Well water and city water will impart an off
taste to your tea.
Iced Tea
Directions:
Brew 5 tea bags in 2 qts. of Purified Water for 5 minutes. Remove tea bags and
place them in a bowl. Press the tea bags against the side of the bowl with a
large spoon to extract all the tea. Cool tea in glass jar(s) in the refrigerator.
For a 12 oz. glass of tea, start with about 6 drops of Plain Stevia. (I like 12
drops of Plain Stevia with 6 drops of Peach Stevia) Creativity is the key!
Chai Latte
Directions:
Brew a pot of double strength chai tea and chill. In a glass add 8 oz. of double
strength chai tea, 20-25 drops of Natures Stevia Plain unflavored stevia, 4 oz. of
milk and ice...Yum!
4
WATER
Flavored Water
Flavored water is expensive! Make your own for just pennies.
Directions:
I like adding 20 drops of the liquid stevia soda flavors to a 16.9 oz water
bottle. And for the fruit flavors 10-20 drops. Only use glass or plastic. Metal
water bottles should not be used with our products. Always use purified water.
Remember, if your water taste bad then the end product will taste bad.
Cleansing Caramel Apple Cider
1 quart Purified Water
20-25 Drops of Caramel Stevia
1 tablespoon Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
Mix in a quart Jar
Option: In a quart jar add 1/4 teaspoon (35 drops) of Caramel Stevia and 2
tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar top off with water. I like 40 drops. When
measuring the stevia, use the dropper to fill the measuring spoon to avoid
gumming up the threads on the stevia bottle.
Cleansing Lemon Water
2 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice (about 1 lemon)
10-30 Drops of Plain Stevia
Option: Add 1-2 drops of Strawberry Stevia for a twist.
Note: The quality, sweetness and how ripe lemons are can vary. Thus the amount
of stevia will vary.
5
MISCELLANEOUS
Soda
Directions:
For Soda Machines – Just add 2 drops of stevia per 1 oz. of carbonated water.
Taste and adjust as needed. Only purified or distilled water should be used.
Hot Chocolate
Directions:
Put 10 drops of plain unflavored stevia and 2 teaspoons of organic unsweetened
baking cacao into an 8 oz. cup. Stir in warm milk. Yum! Remember, cheap
baking cacao will make cheap tasting hot chocolate. Add a drop or two of one
of our other flavors to give your hot chocolate a different spin. Optional add a
teaspoon of virgin coconut oil.
Fresh Squeezed Lemonade
Directions for 1 quart:
1/3- 1/2 cup Fresh Lemon Juice
1/2 teaspoon (70 Drops) of Plain Unflavored Stevia
When measuring the stevia, use the dropper to fill the measuring spoon to
avoid gumming up the threads on the stevia bottle.
Option: Add 1-5 drops of Strawberry Stevia for a twist.
Note: The quality, sweetness and how ripe lemons are can vary. Thus the amount
of stevia will vary.

1 small hand full of fresh spinach leaves
1/2 cup of Crushed Ice.
1/4 teaspoon (35 drops) to 1/2 teaspoon (70 drops) of Caramel Nature’s
Stevia. (I use plain unsweetened protein and plain unsweetened coconut milk so
it needs a 1/2 teaspoon of stevia) Adjust to your taste.

Spreads
Fresh Raw Jam
This recipe can be used with any kind of berries.
Directions:
Place berries in blender with 10-40 drops of plain unflavored liquid stevia and
blend. Add enough berries to equal 1 cup blended. Now taste for flavor and
sweetness. Add additional drops of plain unflavored or a Berry flavored stevia if
needed.
Pour 1 cup of sweetened blended berries in bowl and mix in 1 tablespoon of chia
seeds. Cover and let stand in the refrigerator for a few hours to allow the chia
seeds to absorb most of the juice.
Use within 3 days. If you want it to keep up to six days add a 1/2 tablespoon of
xylitol.
