To use Stevia in the Raw, simply substitute it for sugar in your recipes or beverages. One packet of Stevia in the Raw is equivalent to the sweetness of one teaspoon of sugar. For baking, it can be used in place of sugar, but keep in mind that it does not provide the same bulk or browning properties as sugar. You may need to adjust other ingredients slightly when substituting for sugar in baked goods. It dissolves readily in liquids, making it ideal for drinks.
