Next we found green tea, but as many folk out there found, it had a bitter taste. That was when we decided to blend the green tea and stevia together, and low and behold the tea tasted a lot better. So now we have all the benefits of green tea without the bitterness.
In 2011 stevia liquid was finally passed for commercial use in the UK. It wasn't available anywhere in Scotland, so we decided to make our own stevia liquid, the recipe was tested at Caledonian University and that was how sweet solutions was born.
We know it can be a bit tricky cooking and baking with stevia, but with a wee bit of patience and perseverance it can be incorporated into everyday life, from simply adding it to your daily cuppa to sweetening up plain yoghurts and cold drinks.
So the first recipe we are going to start off with is quite a simple one. And as it's the weekend, which usually means Chinese takeaway time, why not do sweet and sour sauce to go with any meat and veg you prefer.
You will need:
1 teaspoons crushed garlic
1 teaspoon ginger, ground
1/2 cup pineapple juice
juice of 1 lemon
3 tablespoons white rice vinegar
2 tablespoon tomatoe ketchup
15 drops of sweet solutions stevia or to taste
1 tablespoons cornflour
Gather all your ingredients.
We used a frozen ginger cube, which is the equivalent
of a teaspoon of ginger
combine the garlic, ginger, pineapple juice, lemon juice, vinegar,
ketchup and stevia liquid in a saucepan.
.
Mix the cornflour with a little water to make a paste
Gradually add it to the saucepan and let the mixture
come to a boil and thicken.
You can add anything else to the sauce like pineapple chunks and peppers.
And there you have it, a simple sweet and sour sauce but without the sugar.
