This simple natural coffee sweetener<\/strong> recipe is a copycat version of a now-discontinued sweetener called Sun Crystals. Sun Crystals sweetener was a blend of stevia and pure cane sugar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I loved Sun Crystals! Sun Crystals tasted great in my morning coffee, but didn’t give me that spikey-blood-sugar feeling or make me feel guilty about using a chemical sweetener. Sun Crystals changed my life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Sun<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So naturally, they stopped making Sun Crystals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a while, I bought bags of Sun Crystals on eBay, even though they were advertised as “rare” and thus, worthy of increasingly bigger bids. A bag that was once $7 started at $30 and went up from there. But soon even the contraband Sun Crystals were gone, really gone–extinct like beta VCRs and tan M & Ms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then the proverbial light bulb (an LED, of course) went off. Why couldn’t I make my own Sun Crystals? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so I set out on a quest to somehow recreate the magical formula of Sun Crystals. I purchased powdered organic stevia and organic cane sugar and began tinkering. After moments and moments of painstaking trial and error, I cracked the secret code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using an even 1:1 stevia to sugar ratio, I was once again able to enjoy guilt-free morning coffee, iced coffee made with delicious cold brew coffee concentrate<\/a>, and afternoon tea, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since many of my friends have commented on the jar of white powder I keep on the counter, I’m going to share my Top Secret recipe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will take you less than one minute to make. Are you ready?<\/p>\n\n\n
