I use the ring to keep the cheesecloth on the top. I put them in the refrigerator. After three weeks I take off the cheesecloth and put the lid on and put them back the refrigerator. Does that help?

After letting it sit for 24 hours you store it in sterilized jars covered only with cheesecloth for 3 weeks? Air can get into jar while it sits in a cool place for 3 weeks? Or do I cover the jars with cheese cloth before sealing them? Thank you for getting back to me! Henry Lyndah,

It is pure stevia and does not have a bitter aftertaste. (I know what you mean about aftertaste - Yuck!) The 4 teaspoons of stevia are added with the sugar and all. One teaspoon of stevia equals one cup of sugar. Of course, this syrup can be made with sugar. Or you could use less sugar. Then after three weeks you only use two ounces or more of this syrup per glass of seltzer water. Hubby likes his sweet so he uses three to his tall glass. I don't like it real sweet so I use a little more than one ounce per glass. This batch makes three pints. Sorry I'm so late responding to you. I used to be notified of new comments but guess it doesn't work anymore! Thanks for dropping by. Angela, we use NOW stevia extract. It is pure stevia and does not have a bitter aftertaste.
