  7. I’m confused. In the Notes it says, “NO STEVIA POWDER: Use liquid stevia drops, monk fruit sweetener drops or other powdered sugar alternative (not granulated) to taste”. But I don’t see Stevia Powder listed in the ingredient list. Is Stevia Powder supposed to be listed as an ingredient and, if so, how much?
