These are the official conversion ratios although when substituting sugar, I use less then the
recommended amount of low - carb
sweeteners: - 1 tablespoon of sugar = 6 to 9 drops of
liquid or 1/4 teaspoon of powdered stevia - 1 teaspoon of sugar = 2 to 4 drops of
liquid or a pinch of powdered stevia - 1 cup Swerve = 1 cup table sugar 1 1⁄3 cup erythritol When it comes to aftertaste and bitterness, all
sweeteners are different and most stevia products have a bitter aftertaste.
