Stevia

 Stevia is 140 times sweeter than sugar but it contains no sugar.Native to Paraguay and Brazil,stevia has been used as a sweetener by the Guarani people for centuries.As an added bonus,stevia lowers your blood pressure slightly.A tea made with the combination of fresh stevia leaves,fresh mint leaves and fresh borage leaves makes for a cold drink perfect for the hot summer months that actually prevents heat-related illnesses and discomfort.Perfect for a gardener who toils outdoors during climate change related heatwaves.

                                  I have added stevia to my coffee as a sugar substitute in the past sometimes.Stevia is very good but somehow I seem to get a mild headache often  when I drink coffee with stevia in it.
