    I have been using the Vitacost Liquid Stevia (vitacost.com) for years and find that I like the taste and the 4 oz. bottle lasts a looooong time. It's other ingredients are: vegetable glycerin and deionized water.

    ACTUALLY the "cleanest form" would be to order a little stevia plant, and use the leaves, since its hot drinks, the stevia will release is sugars easily, raw leaf stevia has a bit of a liquorice flavor, but you only need like 1/2 of a leaf.

    I was thinking of going for one of these?

    Can anyone vouch at all? It's just an easier place for me to order from, being the UK and all
    I use a stevia extract in glycerine that I get from my local grocery store (Sprout's farmers markets). It has the store name on the bottle, so I can't help you on brands, but it doesn't have any "natural flavors" listed - just stevia extract, vegetable glycerin and deionized water. I have used this to replace sugar in my coffee for a couple years now.

    I'm not sure of the agave suggestion - seems to me that it has a good dose of calories in it because it's full of sugar still. I wouldn't use it as a substitute for sugar if my goal is to reduce my sugar intake.
