Guest guest Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Naturally Sweet Stevia Punch Source: herbsforhealth.com Most punches are too syrupy sweet to enjoy without guilt. This fruity and delicious punch is sweetened with stevia, an herb with no calories but an intensely sweet taste. Stevia is a good substitute for sugar and artificial sweeteners - it helps normalize blood-sugar levels and may help reduce cravings for sweets, alcohol and tobacco. Stevia Fruit Punch 4 cups water 4 black tea bags 1 stevia tea bag or 1 teaspoon stevia leaf 10-ounce bag frozen strawberries 10-ounce bag frozen raspberries 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves Mint sprigs for garnish In a 2-quart saucepan, bring water to a boil. Remove from heat and add black tea bags and stevia. Steep 5 minutes; remove tea bags and strain out any leaves. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until thoroughly chilled. Just before serving, puree fruit and mint in small batches in a blender, using about 1 cup fruit, 3/4 cup liquid and 2 tablespoons mint at a time. Pour into a punch boil, then ladle into small cups garnished with mint sprigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
