I grew stevia last year and still can't decide if I like how it changes the flavor of things. I'll have to try again next year.

You could also look into infusing with raw apple cider vinegar as an alternative. Extracts with ACV are typically done at a ratio of 1 part herb to 1 part ACV.

Apple cider vinegar does not break down plant constituents as effectively as alcohol does but it is still quite powerful (and versatile) ACV extracts sugars, tannins, glycosides, bitter compounds, alkaloids along with vitamins, and minerals.

We like ACV because it is so easy to incorporate it into our lifestyle, a few drops in a beverage, in salad dressings or simply in a glass of water etc plus you are getting the health benefits of the apple cider vinegar and whatever you infuse in it.
