Truvia

I saw Truvia at my grocery store, and after seeing a commercial for it, decided to try it. It is made from the stevia plant and is a natural calorie free sweetener. I use it in my tea, and it's great. It doesn't have that chemical taste that you get from other sweeteners, and it leaves a sweet, sugary aftertaste on your tongue for a while, that really satisfies your sweet tooth. I tried a little licked off my finger, and it doesn't taste that good on it's own, so I probably wouldn't use it on strawberries (as advertised), but it's really good in my tea. It is quite pricey, so I think I'm going to look into the possibility of growing a stevia plant and brewing a few leaves with my tea. Not sure if it works that way or not, but I'm going to check into it.
