What a great addition to unsweetened ice tea! Haven't ventured into other uses, but I will. I tried this product at Trader Joes … What a great addition to unsweetened ice tea!

When you cook with it, use the same recipe changes you need when using honey, i.e., less water, may need baking soda or other leavening changes, etc. The sweetness is not the same as white sugar, but over time, say a couple of weeks, your preferences will change and I'm sure you will become accustomed to it. Even my husband and kids, confirmed sweetness lovers, now reach for it rather than the traditional sugar bowl. So I now have it as the primary beverage, cereal, tea sweetening agent on our table.

It's so nice that it's all natural as well. The only drawback for me was that I needed to use quite a bit to get the same sweetness in my coffee. The ratio was almost 4-1 for my personal taste. Not a big deal, just a mention. I have yet to see any recipe conversions for its use, but I have not actively searched. I would recommend it for anyone concerned about their sugar usage, or those with high triglycerides. I treid this out of curiosity too, and was really amazed at the sweetness with no aftertaste.

It is delicious and a little goes a long way in my morning coffee, etc. Trader Joe's is my source, and it seems to be sold there very reasonably even when compared to buying it in larger bulk amounts, which I had researched on the net.

To our visitors: When Toni mentions the "ranch" she is talking about Rancho La Puerto in Tecate, Mexico -- where she directs the cooking school. Thanks for the suggestion Toni.
