Stir to dissolve stevia. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze 1 or 2 hours until solid around the edges. Remove from freezer. Add lemon juice and extract. Beat thoroughly and replace the plastic wrap.

Ideally, fruits should be organic and ripe when picked. Organic fruits and vegetables better in taste, quality, and nutrition. City dwellers, which have no time or space to grow a garden, can sometimes buy organic foods in large chain super markets, but the best places are organic farmers and health food stores who major in organic fruits and vegetables. Thge cooking recommended in this book is done in a standard oven capable of low control. Many of the recipes are 100% raw. The cooked foods have been prepared under low heat (120 deg. - 130 deg.) to avoid denaturing the protein, destroying all the enzymes, and altering it chemically." http://www.shilajeet.com/store/The-Art-Of-Delicious-Raw-Cookery-14-0-1138.html?src=rss
