Coca Cola Life sweetened with cane sugar and stevia. |
I just found recently a farm that cultivates stevia, a wonder plant with leaves that are sweeter than cane sugar. Stevia is now fast becoming popular and getting widely used as healthy alternative for sugar.

Stevia is not sugar. They called it "sweetener," and can be used to sweeten almost anything, from pastries, coffee, tea, soda, other beverages, chocolates, and more.

Unlike cane sugar, it does not caramelize when heated and will not attract ants unless it is combined with sugar.

I sampled chewing a fresh leaf and the sweetness came first as subtle followed with a tinge of slight bitterness then later on the sweetness started to magnified behind my palate and throat and it lasted there, for more than an hour. It diminished gradually.
