Notes
*Stevia - The stevia I use is twice as sweet as sugar so I use half the amount of sugar this recipe would requires (60g). If the sweetener you use is a 1:1 ratio to sugar then you would use 60g. Adjust the sweetener according to the sweetener you're using.
*Red food coloring - I used gel food coloring so adjust yours accordingly.
