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.

Typical Usage Levels (Beverages)

  • Coffee & Tea: 1–2 teaspoons per 8 fl oz (to taste)

  • 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

Nectevia®, stevia fortified agave nectar is a reduced‑sugar liquid sweetener that behaves like traditional agave nectar, making it an easy swap for beverage sweetening.

Why It Works in Beverages

  • Instant solubility

  • Familiar agave flavor and viscosity

  • Smooth sweetness with reduced sugar load

  • No need for dry‑to‑liquid conversion

Nectevia® excels in coffee drinks, tea, smoothies, cocktails, and mocktails.

Typical Usage Levels (Beverages)

  • Coffee & Tea: 1–2 teaspoons per 8 fl oz

  • Smoothies: 1–2 tablespoons per serving

  • Cocktails / Mocktails: Use 1:1 in place of agave nectar, then adjust to taste

Because Nectevia® is a liquid sweetener, it integrates seamlessly where powders may not.

SteviaSweet® Pure Stevia Extract Powder — Precision Sweetness

SteviaSweet®, pure stevia extract powder is a high‑intensity sweetener designed for maximum sweetness with minimal usage. A little goes a very long way!

Why It Works in Beverages

  • Extremely concentrated

  • Zero calories and zero glycemic impact

  • Excellent clarity in beverages

  • Ideal for reducing total carbohydrate load

Because it provides sweetness without bulk, SteviaSweet® is best for beverages where texture is not sugar‑dependent.

Typical Usage Levels (Beverages)

  • Coffee & Tea: 1⁄64–1⁄32 teaspoon per 8 fl oz (a pinch)

  • Flavored Water: 0.02–0.05% by weight

  • Concentrates / Syrups: Used in combination with bulk sweeteners for balance

Tip: Measure carefully — a little goes a very long way.

Choosing the Right Beverage Sweetener

Coffee & Tea KetoseSweet+™ or Nectevia®
