You can boil and use extract from stevia leaves.  However, it is better to make a powder of the leaves and then use this powder as a sugar substitute.  It is 30-325 times sweeter than sugar.  The powder has its own smell but that is NOT bad and becomes acceptable after some days.
 
I have been using this powder.

I have the Miracle fruit, and I agree that the substance inside it will block the sour taste. The fruit by itself is not really sweet, nor tasty. I gave a friend who's a doctor the miracle fruit, and wanted to try it with his patient. This patient can't taste sugar, sweets may taste salty for him, but it didn't change that affect on him.
Artichokes leaves and heart if eaten, will sweeten the taste of water for few minutes. Stevia however, is very sweet, I was wondering if I can boil it and use the sweetened water in recipes.
