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.

I think if I added three teaspoons of mine it would be so sweet that I couldn't eat the resulting syrup. However I'm not particularly fond of the brand I have now because it has a bitter aftertaste.

I never thought about making syrup! I picked wild blackberries last fall and meant to make jam but they're still in the freezer :( I think I'll wait for this summer's blackberries and then make one big batch of jam next fall. Blackberry cobbler sounds good too :) Looks so yummy! I never thought about making syrup!
