Comments: 300 times sweeter than sugar. Treat as a houseplant in winter. However, it can be set outside during the summer months. Harvest at end of season. Leaves are sweetest when mature and temperatures are around 60 F. Sweetner is best extracted by soaking dried leaves in boiling water, squeezing them dry and removing them. Liquid can be stored in refrigerator and used as needed. Dried leaves are approximately 10 times sweet as an equivalent weight of sugar (1/2 gram of dried leaves equals 5 grams of sugar)
