1/3 sugar and 2/3 stevia or Splenda. Artificial sweeteners (including stevia) have a tasteable "bite" to them which I don't like. Using a bit of sugar helps smooth out the bite while the bulk of the sweetness is provided by the sweetener.
You should try replacing some of the artificial sweetener with glycine, a sweet amino acid, which also happens to be pretty healthy.
