1 cup Sugar
1 cup Sucralose
24 packets Stevia Blend
12 tsp. Spoonable Stevia Blend
2.5 tsp. Stevia Extract Liquid
1.5 tsp. PURE Stevia Extract Powder
NOTE: Not all Stevia Extract Powders are pure. Look for a 28 mg serving size or thereabouts... If the serving size is significantly larger, the Stevia isn't pure.

Hmmm - I use "Sweet Leaf" brand of pure stevia powder (I get it at Whole Foods). The label says 1/3 teaspoon = 1 cup sugar (not 1 1/2 teaspoon as listed above). Although I do have the "Low Carb Cooking with Stevia" book that also lists the same (1 1/2) equivalents as above.
Too much stevia may taste bitter or licorice-like. For things where you can easliy add more (tea, Kool Aid, whipped cream, etc), start with less and taste - only add more if it needs it. After using it for awhile, you will get the hang of it.
