How people cook with it

When using this liquid stevia, start with a very small amount, such as a drop or two, and taste. You can gradually add more until your desired level of sweetness is achieved. It dissolves instantly in both hot and cold liquids. For baking, it can be used to replace sugar, but keep in mind that it does not provide the bulk or browning properties of sugar. Adjust recipes accordingly, perhaps by adding a small amount of applesauce or a similar ingredient for texture.
