Stevia Questions

Hi all. i started looking at more natural stuff to use for my coffee and teas and I came across Stevia seeds. I was wondering if anyone has grown it and know how to grow it indoors. Growing out door isn't the route that I want to go because I want to grow it faster and have more control over things.

Is there a method to make Stevia syrups with out using liquor?

from what I understood, the liquid stevia I purchase is a water extracted essential oil from the leaf of the plant. I use SweetLeaf brand

Thanks. I am looking to grow some in a DWC system and I found some Heirloom seeds for it. I know they are hard to germinate but I am going for heirloom seeds when ever I can.

sugar is the number one drug. I also am looking for alternative for this substance have a plant never grown it before but it is my information on this posted!!! outside in my garden but in a pot where I can bring it in in winter! I have to do a lot of reading on this and how to process it to get its benefit!!

honestly stevia tastes like fucking shit.
it makes me gag.
use all natural maple syrup. or simple drink your coffee black like i do
you can indeed get organic all natural cane sugar

Stevia kind of tastes like splenda and chlorophyll. Its probably 10x sweeter than sugar. Its pretty low maintenance as far as I have seen. I took the leaves and dried them then ground into powder. Its amazing in lemonade and if you let it steep for a few hours the lemonade turns a nice jade color. Not so sure how good it goes with coffee. Might be better as an extract. You can boil your stevia in plain water at a 1:1 ratio. Take stevia out after 15 mins and let wayer boil until its a little syrupy. Thats a basic way to do it. Im sure im missing something. Peace

Heirloom Stevia in a DWC system is something I would love to see. I have been wanting to grow my own Stevia for a while now.
