Thanks Perpetua, I'll have a go! If I fail, as is mightily probable, I shall pass them on to someone less cack-handed

I know, right, andylec, don't half look suspish, eh?

Mine arrived on Saturday, all the way from Paraguay. Very suspicious looking white powder shipped from South America, it took 3 weeks to arrive. It had a sticker on it stating it had been checked by customs but no sign of the packet actually being opened!

Anyway attempted to mix it this moning as per thread and it's still cloudy- might need to chuck it and try again...

Give it time Cammy! You only mixed it this morning . . . if you're really that impatient, give it a zap in the microwave for a couple of seconds to speed the process.

I think it's the seeds and bits, no idea what I'm supposed to do with them though ???

Yep, they're the seeds to plant and grow your own Stevia plants Jen, didn't get any in mine.

I'll send my seeds onto you if you want Perpetua? I have no intention of using them so if you would like them just PM your address and ill send them on there way.

[Perpetua]

Lovely job, thank you Kirrie . . . I'll PM you my address now.

Here it is.. 20 hours since mix - will it dissolve anymore? Should I just bin it or do you think it will be okay to use?

[Perpetua]

I'd use it if it tastes ok Cammy . . . depends how much it bothers you not being clear, it wouldn't me.

This dropped onto the doormat today:



Boy, am I glad customs didn't open it!!

I've had a search of the forum but can't find instructions for diluting it for mixing use. I'm sorry, I know it's probably been said many times before, can someone point me in the right direction, pretty please? Thanks!

Looks like someone has some connections with Columbia and the dam hehe.

I had the same problem initially (don't have a microwave either), bunged it on the radiator for the day and forgot about it, just remembered now and it's crystal clear and tasty

I've just dropped some of the cloudy solution into a couple of mixes - it appears fully dissolved so it doesn't bother me...

Might leave it on a radiator tho to see if that works.

I have found that with a little bit of heat it will dissolve out 100%.

If you have used too much powder for the amount of liquid it may have reached saturation point... If that is the case just add some more PG.

Sometimes a little undissolved powder will settle to the bottom, but it is fine to use.

I thought that was the problem with it. Too much powder, not enough PG to dissolve it. I've used a little of the mix as it is but will drop some more PG into it and sit it on a radiator for a while.
Thanks for all your advice guys.
