Actually, I found a brand of #YerbaMate that's quite pleasant, and also more finely ground than the brands I was using before.

So now I'm brewing with a lot less #stevia, and no more fruit juice.

It's Canarias Serena, for those who may be curious.

I beg my Argentinian friends' forgiveness, but I'm not going back to those brands. Canarias is the GOAT.

@Wendinope I fully agree, especially on the On-Screen-Keyboard. I was pretty shocked by the state of things were in when I got my back in December. (previously phosh-osk-stub) by @agx has predictive text input and is shaping up very well, I think it should basically just become the new @Gnome OSK.

Putting in a splash of cranberry juice (and a good number of drops of #stevia extract) in the hot water I use to brew my #YerbaMate is a total #GameChanger.

Makes the drink much more enjoyable to my unrefined palate.

#phosh-osk-stub is now #stevia 🎹 . The rename wants to reflect that

- it's not just a stub
- typing should hopefully be "sweet"

(and it allows us to keep the "pos_" symbol prefix).

Thanks to @newbyte for the help in finding the name!

Die Wirkung von Süßstoffen auf den #Stoffwechsel und den #Appetit sind komplex. Während einige Studien auf eine Reizung des Belohnungssystems und damit verbundene Heißhungerattacken hinweisen, zeigt eine neue Studie, dass Süßstoffe nicht zwangsläufig den #Hunger steigern – und sogar helfen können, Blutzuckerwerte zu senken.

Wer #Süßstoffe gezielt einsetzt, im Rahmen einer ausgewogenen #Ernährung, kann profitieren.

I put a generous amount of #Stevia and a splash of cranberry sauce into my hot water thermos when I made #YerbaMate just now... this is delicious!!!

Me, drinking #YerbaMate:

  • Man, I should make some mate today!
  • Ok, here I go, gonna measure the water temperature with my IR thermometer and pour it into my thermos the second it hits 150°F / 65°C
  • Thermos is ready, now let's get some yerba into this mate
  • First steep, leave it at an angle. This is gonna be so good!
  • Ok, ready for the first draw
  • Mmm... wow, very grassy. Let's add some #stevia...
  • Ok, that's more drinkable, now XD
  • Man, I feel great! So alert
  • Ugh, that tastes horrible. Just needs a little more stevia...
  • Finished the second thermos-full of hot water, time to wash out the gourd
  • That was great! I should make some more tomorrow!

Honestly, I'm not sure I'll ever get used to the flavor. But there's some really zen about the process of making it, and it's way better caffeine/performance-wise than coffee, so :BlobCatDerpy:

In other news... manufacturers need to stop replacing sugar in foods with Stevia. It tastes awful and makes the food inedible for many people.

@SolusSpider @drose @amin

Yikes. I wish they used #Stevia more; I've always loved it as a sweetener. I really liked Coca Cola Life, which had Stevia and sugar, but they phased it out in 2020.

I remember when Stevia was banned in the U.S. except as a nutritional supplement. That was dumb.

Do they sell it in the U.K.? In any pre-made drinks/foods? It's still pretty rare to see it in pre-made stuff, but I see it every now and then. I'm just glad it's in a convenient liquid form now.

Well that was interesting...

I accidentally made a tea concentrate, and it was actually pretty good. Wellll… it was drinkable. ^__^

About a year ago, my sister shipped me a couple bags of her favorite loose tea, and I've kept it in mason jars to enjoy gradually while remaining pretty fresh (the tea, not myself). I hadn't made it in a while, so I made some the other day and rather enjoyed it (with a bit of #stevia for sweetness). I made a second batch to enjoy and… promptly forgot it (#adhd says hello! XD

So, I did what all good #tea enthusiasts forswear: I nuked it.

I don't remember the exact reasoning, but I decided I actually wanted to boil it down a bit in the microwave so I could add hot water to it and enjoy it later. So I initially nuked it for six minutes and it boiled down half way. I'm not sure what I was thinking, but I guess I thought I'd boil it down another half-way with six more minutes of nuking. No, it boiled down to a few very dark drops of liquid at the bottom of the cup.

So, I transferred it to a small plastic cup (probably a mistake) and put it in the fridge.

That was all several days ago, probably a week ago.

Today, I go look in the fridge, and the tea concentrate is no longer a liquid. It is a polymer. XD

So, I throw some boiling water on top of the tea-polymer, swirl it around, and dump it into my mug. I then add more boiling water on top and… it's honestly not terrible! (But for future reference, boiling liquids and cheap plastic cups don't mix. Nothing bad happened, but the structure became a little weak, and I have no idea how many iffy hydrocarbons leached into my tea.

Probably won't make a habit of creating tea-polymers in the future, but it was an interesting experiment.

cc: tea people for their cheers and jeers XD

We give my son Pediasure, a chocolate shake drink to help kids grow. Our pediatrician originally recommended it. I just realized that it has stevia in it. I do not like non-sugar sweeteners. I feel like they reset taste preferences towards very sweet food. This is not good for a kid who already has trouble eating vegetables. That has been my anecdotal experience. Do you know if there are studies about this effect?

Success! Wir haben jetzt eine gesunde (nach bisherigem Forschungsstand) Zucker-Alternative in unserem Gewürzregal am #ArschDerHeide. Unser #Stevia haben wir selbst aus Saatgut gezogen, ins Gewächshaus gepflanzt, geerntet, getrocknet und gemahlen. Ich hoffe, ich schaffe es, die vier Pflänzchen über den Winter zu bringen. Als South-American Natives sind sie nicht winterhart. #Garten #Selbstversorgung #GrowOwnFood

Auf einem Holzbrett steht ein Weckglas mit Metallklammer, darin befindet sich ein sehr feines, grünes Pulver, auf dem Label auf dem Deckel steht "Stevia"

Call me a lightweight, but I find that adding some #stevia (or the sweetener of your choice) really helps make #YerbaMate smoother and more enjoyable to drink, especially the more bitter brands.

update extra

The wicking method, I can not say enough good things about it. It has given all the kratky jars another way to get water and nutrients to the plant. This tray of stevia is a great example. The wick runs through all the ice cube tray cells such that each gets its fill. Even the fennel is enjoying the fruits of its transport. Roots run along it on the way down.
