Exotic Hot Chocolate Recipe

Directions

• 1.

  In a small pot, combine the Truvia Original Sweetener, cocoa powder, cinnamon, star anise, salt, and cayenne pepper.

• 2.

  Cut the vanilla bean in half-length wise, scrape the black seeds out of the pod using the back of a knife, and add it into the pot.

• 3.

  Whisk in the milk. Place the pot on the stove over medium heat. Whisk frequently so that nothing settles to the bottom of the pot and burns. Once the mixture comes to a boil, remove the pot from the heat.

• 4.

  Add in the chopped chocolate and whisk until melted.

• 5.

  Pour the hot chocolate into the mugs. Garnish with a cinnamon stick and serve immediately.

• 6.

  Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
