How people cook with it
This sweetener is a versatile ingredient for sweetening beverages and baked goods. It can be a simple substitute for sugar in many everyday recipes.

- Sweetening tea
- Baking cakes
- Making cookies
To use this sweetener, measure it according to your taste preference or recipe instructions, as it is often much sweeter than sugar. Stir it thoroughly into hot or cold liquids like coffee, tea, or water until it is completely dissolved. When baking, it can be incorporated into dry ingredients before adding wet ingredients, similar to how you would use granulated sugar. The amount needed may vary depending on the specific product's sweetness level compared to regular sugar. Experiment to find the right balance for your desired sweetness.
How it differs from similar foods
It also does not caramelize or brown in the same way sugar does when heated, which can affect the appearance and texture of baked goods. Its sweetness intensity can be significantly higher than that of sugar.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store the sweetener in its original container with the lid tightly closed in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposure to moisture, as this can cause clumping. Ensure it is kept away from direct sunlight and heat to maintain its quality and sweetness over time.
