When using this sweetener, it is important to note that it is much sweeter than regular sugar. You will typically need only a very small amount to achieve the desired sweetness. Start with a tiny pinch or a small drop and taste as you go. This allows you to control the sweetness level precisely. It dissolves easily in both hot and cold liquids, making it versatile for various applications. For baking, it can be used in place of sugar, but be aware that it does not provide the same bulk or browning properties as sugar. Adjustments to recipes may be necessary.

Unlike granulated sugar, this sweetener provides sweetness with virtually no carbohydrates. It also dissolves more readily in cold liquids compared to some other sugar substitutes. Its intense sweetness means a much smaller volume is required for the same level of sweetness.

How to keep the rest
