The leaf is 30 times sweeter than sugar while extracts are 300-400 times sweeter. This is a great way to add healthy sweetness to you The best stevia will, therefore, be the one that retains some whole food value and is water-based. Liquid forms will be less processed.

I use these Onyx Stainless Steel Popsicle Molds for my popsicle recipes:

Made from 18/8 stainless steel, BPA-Free

Designed so that one ice pop can be removed (or re-filled) at a time
Simply hold the mold in your hand for a moment, or run under warm water briefly, release quickly
Fast freeze mold is easy to use, easy to clean, and will last you a life time

The oxy stainless steel popsicle molds need sticks so I use these Norpro Wooden Treat Sticks, the package comes with 100 Pieces of Ice pop sticks so you can make lots of popsicles all summer long.
