Using Stevia in Tea

This is my first season growing stevia and I had a bumper crop. The only thing is I am not fond of the leafy substance floating in my tea. Are there ways to process it to a liquid or powder? The picture is after I harvested.

After I dried my leaves I put them in a dry blade blender (I have a Vitamix that I also grind wheat with). This reduced the leaves to a powder mixture that is very sweet so just a bit is needed.

Have you tried putting the fresh leaves in a blender with a little bit of water and then straining it?

You can strain it or make a small bag. Put it in the bag, good luck.
