Yes, consuming stevia daily can be suitable for individuals looking for a natural, low-calorie sweetener. Stevia is a plant-based sweetener derived from the Stevia rebaudiana plant, and it is known for its intense sweetness without adding calories or raising blood sugar levels.

Yes, stevia can be used as a substitute for sugar in sharbat, providing a natural and low-calorie option. When using stevia in your sharbat recipe, it is essential to remember that its sweetness intensity is much higher than that of sugar, which may have a bitter aftertaste. Hence, starting with a smaller quantity and gradually increasing it according to your taste preference is recommended. To begin, we suggest adding a small amount of stevia and jaggery powder to your sharbat recipe. This will help you adjust to the taste gradually and find the right balance for your palate. As you become accustomed to the taste of stevia, you can decrease the amount of jaggery powder and increase the quantity of stevia accordingly. This gradual transition will allow you to enjoy stevia's natural sweetness while maintaining your sharbat's desired flavour profile.

Stevia can sometimes taste bitter due to certain natural compounds present in the plant, such as stevioside and rebaudioside. Although responsible for stevia's sweetness, these compounds can also contribute to its bitter aftertaste, mainly when used in higher concentrations or with particular food and beverage preparations.

The effect of stevia on the thyroid or any other disease is still contradictory; we always recommend consulting a naturopath or a healthcare provider before introducing new foods into your diet, as each food has different effects for different body types. A healthcare provider can provide personalized guidance based on your specific needs & current health status.
