Confectionery made from herbal mixtures, comprising an extract from a
mixture of several herbs, or a mixture of a corresponding number of
extracts of at least one herb, with additionally an extract of Stevia
rebaudiana. The above presents considerable advantages, in particular: a
desired flavour change, sweetening with a high sweetening capacity,
natural sweetening without additional calories, natural sweetening
without causing caries and with a prophylactic effect on caries. The
confectionery can be produced, whereby either the dry herbs are mixed,
said mixture extracted and the extract optionally thickened, or a
corresponding number of optionally thickened extracts of at least one of
the dried herbs are combined with each other and the mixture thickened,
whereupon the mixture obtained is mixed with optionally thickened extract
of the dried herb Stevia rebaudiana, or the dried herbs and the dried
herb from Stevia rebaudiana are mixed together, said mixture is extracted
and the extract obtained is optionally thickened. The obtained mixture or
the obtained optionally thickened extract is processed to give
confectionery of the desired form. The confectionery can be in many
forms, such as a conventional form and produced by conventional means.
