Sweetening Beverages Without Sugar
Sweetening Beverages with Steviva
Clean Sweetness for Hot and Cold Drinks
Sweetening beverages is one of the most effective places to reduce added sugar — and one of the easiest places to get it right.
Steviva, beverage sweeteners are designed to dissolve cleanly, deliver smooth sweetness, and avoid the harsh peaks or lingering aftertaste often associated with sugar alternatives. Whether you’re sweetening coffee, tea, sparkling beverages, smoothies, or functional drinks, Steviva offers targeted solutions for different needs.
This guide outlines the best Steviva sweeteners for beverages and how to use them effectively.
KetoseSweet+™, Sugar‑Like Performance in Beverages
KetoseSweet+™, allulose-based sweetener is ideal for beverages where sugar normally contributes body, mouthfeel, and balance.
Why It Works in Beverages
-
Dissolves easily in hot and cold liquids
-
Delivers smooth, rounded sweetness
-
Adds subtle body and mouthfeel
-
No sharp peaks or sweetness crash
KetoseSweet+™ is especially well suited for coffee, tea, lemonades, flavored waters, and functional beverages.

-
Lemonade / Iced Tea: 3⁄4–1 cup per gallon
-
Sparkling Beverages: 0.5–1.0% by weight
Tip: Start at the lower end — many users prefer slightly less sweetness than sugar once their palate adjusts.
Nectevia®, Liquid Sweetness Made Smarter
