I agree with Karen. Especially about not using the greenish extract or powder. This is made directly from the powdered leaf, and although it's "natural" it tastes very "herbal" ... grassy. Blecchh
Stevia can cross the line between sweet and bitter if you use too much. For example, one or two drops might make your food taste sweet, but 4 or 5 drops won't make it sweeter, it will just make it bitter. You have to experiment, and taste-test the recipe for sweetness, since there's no standard equivalence such as 1 drop = 1 tsp sugar-sweetness.
