So sweetness from a plant!
Sweet!
I have tried Truvia before and like it, though I prefer to cook with it over the other uses like putting it drinks or on fruit. But just for this I thought I would give it another try in my hot tea. Have to say I still prefer regular sugar this way but I think over time I'll get used to that very slight twang at the end.
I would really like to see this in restaurants right next to those aspartame filled packets for a healthy alternative.
Have you tried Truvia? What's your take on it?

One packet of Truvia® natural sweetener provides the same sweetness as two teaspoons of sugar.
