I had a really sore throat and this made my throat feel instantly better! I added some honey and it was really soothing... Thank you!

I made this at about 2:30 this morning. I cant say that it put me back to sleep but it was soothing comfort in a mug (made 1 serving). I skipped the marshmallows ........hummm, maybe that was the secret sleep ingredient? but loved the vanilla and light spicing. I used fat free milk and Splenda. This would be a great choice if you want something warm and smooth in the afternoon that doesn't pack the calorie wallop of hot chocolate.
