2 Peter 3: • 2 PETER 3 - Memorize i... Soli DEO gloria!
I'm highly allergic to any type of alcohol... Every time I drink it I have very bad things happen. Mentally, physically, and spiritually... :0( I praise God for setting me free of a 43 year addiction to alcohol. It's been 16 years and counting since Jesus set me free and gave me a brand new life. And HE has taught how to handle life's upsets without booze. It hasn't been a easy road to walk on, BUT I know Jesus is right beside me while I'm going through the rough times. Trust you me there have been a lot of rough times. God never promised us a easy road, but HE did promise to be right there with us as we walk the road called life... Be blessed.... BBE..
Bobby Baldeagle I so thankful Yahshua. May you always walk with him by your side. I’ll pray for you.
🙏👍❤️✝️🎚🙏
*i don't care... nobody listen to you!* 😒

She went to great lengths to emphasize that the alcohol is evaporated OUT of the liquid. Unfortunately, the only thing that "virtue-signaling" alkies can hear is VODKA. Rational people who are alcoholics, know the difference between the alcohol in a bottle of cough syrup and a three day bender.
@@fazbell No, she said boiling off the alcohol was an option. With the alcohol, the extract is shelf stable, and without the alcohol it must be refrigerated.
You can add a small amount of cinnamon to the dry stevia for a different flavor and medicinal value
Thank You.
I've watched a couple & they say boil out, i like the idea that if you leave it on the alcohol it's self life is longer 😊
I'm so happy to learn about heating to evaporate the alcohol! Tinctures are so good, an the option to take a small amount and evaporate the alcohol, and storing in the refrigerator, 'as needed', never crossed my mind. What a GOOD idea. Thank you! God Bless
I'm a diabetic trying to go keto (ish). I'm also having a hard time finding things like stevia here in Ukraine, but the quest goes on and I have some leads. We also have a (wannabe) homestead in Maine and will be trying to grow this and other herbs and veggies this summer (our first year together on our farm).
Call it "the unction" but I decided to start searching for stevia here at YTU and yours was one of the first channels to come up. So glad I stopped by for a visit.
A beautiful and unashamed Godly woman and spot on advise and homestead howto to boot. You are a true Blessing.

ebey
Ketoish, lol! That's me too, I lack discipline and will splurge like crazy when the bad foods are on my face!
Christa, You have such a sweet spirit! Sooo happy to have found your channel!
So pleased with the results of this extract process. Made about a quart of stevia extract from 4 oz. of dried stevia. Nasty green color but works great for my tea and homemade Greek yogurt. ordered dropper bottles from amazon to dispense my stevia extract. I saved the soaked stevia leaves to try adding to dried green tomato artisan bread . . . just for fun. thank you.
Thank you for the video. I spend a fortune purchasing liquid stevia. I am ordering seeds to grow it, but, for now I am going to purchase some dried leaves and try to make my own. I love your videos!
Can’t believe i got more than i look for. Thankyou for the stevia and for the Bible verse.
Another excellent how to video. I'm SO GLAD I found your channel.
Sweet video! Sweet recipe! And sweet Bible reading! Awesome as usual. Thanks for sharing and the hard work! Much appreciated. God bless.
I am just exploring using stevia and Christa's sharing is so insightful down to earth and easy to follow. A joy to listen to her as her voice is so warm and the fact she asks to inspire others is truly remarkable not to mention using scripture verses. Thank you Christa for taking time to produce such videos.
Christa, I can't find the video where you say that people have told you that "firstly" is not a word, but I want to let you know that "firstly" is a valid word ('nextly' is not, though!) and you just keep on sharing that! Your demeanor, presentation, and knowledge are top quality, and I enjoy learning from you. Keep up the great work!
Thank you, Cathy!
This was such a neat informative video. Thank you! And, whoa! I didn’t know you were also a Bible Believer. I love that you shared verse from the Holy Scriptures. God bless you.
Thank you, Mi! God bless you too!
That is exactly what I've been wanting to do. Thank you so much for helping me find the information that I needed!
I am so glad. Rhonda!
A very SWEET video!!! Thanks
Thanks so very much for sharing this INFO and also the word of God, you are one of a kind, God bless you.
Just what i needed! I'm so blessed to find your Chanel! I'm in Argentina, S A.
You are a blessing. I just got 40 plants of Stevia to plant in my greenhouse. Can't wait to come back and share my experience.Great videos you put out!
Ok i did the leaf with vodka and didn like it but kept stevia and put some in jar and added tea with water and put it n fridge and i got sweet tea. Love it
Hi Christa, As always, another great video. I have learned so much from you and will definitely be making the Stevia extract. I'll start small - as you recommend. I have been buying it to use in iced coffee but now this is going to be a great savings. And...Oh my goodness what a small world it is. As Cheri shared with you - she and I are FB friends. I was shocked when she mentioned your channel - and she was equally surprised when I told her that yours is my favorite channel!! You provide such wonderful content - and I really appreciate your bible readings. They are so up-lifting!! Thanks for all you do and continued success. Love, Mary
@Mary's Nest ... fancy meeting YOU here :-D This lady is amazing, isn't she? I love her channel!
Mary's Nest we do tend to watch a lot of like people. Nice to see you again.
I just spent $9 a couple of weeks ago for raspberry chocolate stevia from Azure. But I love it in my afternoon Teecino! Thanks for the advice, I'll see if Azure has stevia leaves so I can try this! God bless you! Love Isaiah, and so blessed by the scriptures!
For an easy adult dessert, fill a jar with cherries and vodka. Keep in fridge. Use on desserts or just have a few for a quick snack on a stressful day. Keep out of reach of children.
Pat Cavanaugh emm sounds good. I’m on Keto do you think it would work with strawberries?
Great timing! I've been meaning to look up how to do this. Thank you!
You are a piece of heaven, thank you so much I’ll do this for my mom to use it, she has diabetes so Stevia is better for her, I don’t think the tiny bit of vodka will interfere with the sugar right? Thanks a lot, greetings from Southamerica 🌹🌹🌹💥
Thank you! I grow and use my own but never thought of a soak liquid.
I just found your channel I really like your work and appreciate the planning and production value of them all. Thank you
J T oh yes, I’ll second that.
🙏👍❤️✝️
Thank you for sharing your wisdom. May God guide and provide every need. You have a beautiful spirit. 🕊
i bought 2 stevia plants.....coco the cat ate them.
Funny
So sorry Maggi but that is hysterical. Go coco go!
If coco only eight off the tops it should grow back. Coco sounds like it could be related to my patches only she eats lizards that are trying to keep bugs off my plants yikes
Hahaha, then I'll have to keep mine away from Jake!
That’s sweet
Have a friend. His wife uses stevia as he's diabetic. Amazing how much you can make with it.
Thank You! This is wonderful! 🌱
So glad for this video. I have a huge stevia plant and gotta get it extracted before winter comes.
What an awesome video! Thank you for sharing this. I am definitely going to give this a try.
This is a fabulous thing to know! Certainly on my list of things to do :). Thanks for creating this video!
Just what I was looking for! Thank you
The recipe I have been looking for. God bless you darling lady!
What a wonderful idea, to make your own stevia. It saves plenty of money. Thanks, Christa.
Thanks so much for this video. I have a stevia plant but did not know how to get it in liquid form. I have made vanilla extract with vanilla bean and vodka. It is the same process.
Wow! Thank you. Great options too
*InfOrmative VideOW...* 👌👌👌
That's easy!!! I'm going to try this! Love the verses!
Thank you for the information I have subscribed and hit the Bell button you caught my interest my stevia plant is very large I was curious on how to process it
As always a wonderful video :) God bless
Just curious... if I do the method of removing the Alcohol could I freeze it afterwards to keep it for a longer shelf life? Love your channel....God Bless
Mary, I haven't tried that, but it would stand to reason that that would be a great way to lengthen the shelf life a good while! If you try it, check back in and let us know how your results turn out!
Thank you ! you are so beautiful and explaining beautifully this process.
This is soooo brilliant!
I cant stop my self from commenting that ,you have a very attractive facial expressions
Thank you so very much. I will definitely spread this video and His Word. Thank you very much again.
Another awesome video, thank you
You are an awesome teacher. Thank you
It is easier to use 97% Reb A powder, water and grain alcohol. The resultant liquid can be twice as sweet as sweet leaf. Just use 3-6 grams of Reb A powder to 1.5 ounces 80 proof vodka. You can dilute it with a few more drops of water since the best solubility is 30% alcohol. 80 proof vodka is 40%. I use grain alcohol/water since I always have it on hand for other uses. Easy. One 100 gram bottle of Reb A powder yields 25 ounces of liquid or 6 bottles of Sweet Leaf. Approximately $7 per bottle.
Wonderful info and VERY helpful !
You can also soak your cherries in red wine. My mother-in-law soaked peach slices in the red wine. She was Italian. She served a little bowl of sliced peaches in red wine with Sunday dinner.
Thanks for the lovely video. 😘😘👍
Love learning about canning . My mom did this as we were growing up . Her family was from Norway and this is how the preserved fish , ect . Preparing to do this myself . BTW , my maiden name was Swartz . My dad's family was from Kansas . Cousins in different areas 😊 Could be kin somehow ? Love your endings with God's word
can you make us a recipe book we can use the stevia extract in? love your channel!
What a great lesson.
Natural sugars are more healthier and so much better for you. You get the sweetness of sugar, with less product. Great video. Cheers!
thank you. gona try this recipe, im new on keto
Is there some other kind of liquid I could use other alcohol? I just bought my first Stevia plant.

THANKS FOR THE INFO MANY BLESSINGS ❤❤❤❤
Smart, very smart! Thanks :)
Thanks for showing me how to make stevia extract so easy. I was making mine like a tincture. I was soaking it for 6 weeks with vodka with no problems and after taste. Any how will try your way from now on.God bless.
Very nice how you present and make videos.God bless you.
I loved it all.
Thank you and bless you.
You are perfect in so many ways...
I am going to try this, I will let you know how it turns out. Love your channel, :)
Oh, I hope you love it, Lynn!
Thanks love
Really great simple method stay blessed
How cool Thank you.
But One tip,use half cup of dried leaves for 2 cups of warm water.this makes more syrup so easy to steep and concentrate and also easy to adjust sweetness.
But will it taste like vodka? I dont want to use it in my tea (or anything else) if it's gonna taste like alcohol.
Ang ganda mo naman! ❤
Love this...thank you 👍🙂
Thank you so much
❤❤Thank you!!👏👏
I'd like to make some with vanilla bean added.
Wooooo. That would be delicious I would think!
The boiling water would be for me.
Thank you for the info.
Hmmm....something new, thank you!
Thank you, Thank you!
1) You mentioned the non-alchol process provides 3-5 month shelf life, but th pop up in the video says 3-5 weeks?
2) Please update your product link for the leaves, All I'm finding are 'teas', is this the same? Thank you :)
Soli DEO gloria!
Thank you for this easy demo video. Can using stevia infused alcohol turn me into an alcoholic over time?
Thanks for sharing
Great video. It seems to me that it is a waste to throw that used stevia out. I would use it for second batch. Maybe won't be as strong but still good.
Did you know that although stevia is a plant, an awesome one, you can cause adrenal fatigue if you consume a large amount daily? What happens is this: when your tongue tastes sweet your brain signals to your body that it is about to receive a boost of energy. With stevia there is no boost of energy like with raw sugar, maple syrup or local honey. I am not talking about daily use in coffee, tea or an occasional “goodie”. There are many people eating a ketogenic diet laden with substitute sweeteners that are hurting their adrenals. I have always wanted to make my own but have been a little intimidated until NOW. I only buy the Sweet Leaf brand and you are correct..it is expensive! I am a sweet nut too and my 15-18 oz. cup of coffee contains 30-35 drops along with a teaspoon or two of Erythritol. I am off all sugars in my coffee and tea which was a total weakness for me in the past. Now I can save money by DIYing this myself to get that sweet taste with no bitterness! SO glad to find your channel!
Thank you so much 😊If I use the vodka after straining, are we boiling it or it’s not necessary?
I wondered the same thing and found the answer to our question on this site www.leaf.tv/articles/how-do-i-remove-the-alcohol-from-drinks/-Bring the liquid to a simmer then adjust the heat as necessary to keep your beverage simmering gently. Do not boil the drink, as this will cause too much of the liquid to evaporate before the alcohol burns off and you will be left with an empty pot.
I hope this helps you as much as it did me.
God bless
🙏👍💕✝️
Hey sis!! This is so perfect!!! I've always wanted to know how to do this!!! I'm so grateful for this video ..I can't wait to try it!! I have a couple of questions please? What size Sweet Leaf bottle is that? I've never bought one larger than 2 oz. and the bottle you are holding looks larger than that? My second question is, do you think we could add flavoring to them from Vanilla or different flavored extracts? I love the flavored ones, especially the Raspberry flavor that I can't get too often from Amazon from a company in Iceland called "Good Good". They have raspberry, strawberry and grape, but it's my favorite because I don't taste any bitterness at all in those products, even though I like Sweet Leaf Stevia drops and buy those too. Thank you!!
Is it safe for diabatic patient ?
Stevia-based sweeteners are calorie-free and have been shown to have little to no impact on blood sugar, making them excellent sugar substitutes for people with diabetes. It's the same for monk fruit sugar. I'm also diabetic.
When do I add the flavoring and how? Can u share a video of that
Can you mix stevioside powder with vodka instead of water?
So the stevia becomes bitter after 48 hours in the absolute vodka , then would the stevia you stashed back in the fridge and cook down later be bitter as well ?
Thank you! Will this work with fresh stevia leaves?
I always share with my daughter and she shares with her sisters. It's easy to share, so why not?
Kinda a contrition saying only leave it sitting for no more than 48hours or it becomes bitter then say make several batches and leave em in the pantry til you’re ready to use them
awesome
Like it very much and so much cheaper!!!
hi thank you for this video. My question is there alcohol left because i cant have alcohol is so little that it is not a problem?
Good video s
Just curious, is it cheaper to buy it already made or to make it yourself?
It is certainly cheaper if I make it myself. The one caveat is that I never make mine quite as strong as the store bought so I do end up using a little bit more. It is perhaps one 4th of the price of store bought.
Thank You for answering my question so quickly. 😋
i can see why she likes to have more than one serving VODKA
like +1
I wonder if Everclear could be used, rather than vodka. Part of the bitterness may be coming from the taste of the vodka. In contrast, Everclear has almost no taste profile.
I use everclear for all of my tinctures and extracts, unless I’m using vegetable glycerin. I have no idea about the bitterness issues for this application. I wouldn’t use glycerin in this application but it has the ability to become super saturated so it’s handy for other tinctures.
William Mills From what I understand, Everclear is generally diluted when preparing an infusion, rather than being used at bottle strength.
Doesn’t the vodka add a different kind of sugar that illicits an insulin response?
