Adding Truvia Stevia

[Amateur1]

I added about 11g of butter with the chocolate and gave a stir then waited a minute before turning the gas off. I waited 3 minutes then added the maple syrup and spices. This time I used 2 tsp of truvia instead of 1 tbsp.
Delicious.
The butter definitely enhanced the flavour.

I tried adding some olive oil then putting the truvia and cinnamon with the olive oil and adding the quinoa and water.
I found that the cinnamon lost its flavour.
Is this what you would expect? Would all herbs and spices lose their flavour if cooked with water?

They don't lose their flavor per se, the ratio to water is probably diluted it to the point you can't taste it. Let the water evaporate and taste the finished product and if you still can't taste the spices then you'll need to add more.

Perhaps I'm better off just adding the spices and sugar at the end. What would you do if you were making this?

 

[garlichead]

Hard to say because I don't measure for most of my cooking. Just go by taste and add in enough cinnamon at the end if that's easier for you, and to your taste.

Does the same go for Truvia or sugar?

Don't over think this recipe, it's mostly just boiling water and adding ingredients which could be anything in any proportion that suits you.

Agree 100%.
You´re making porridge, not a Michelin-starred dessert.

I'm using this recipe to improve my general knowledge and understanding of cooking. Thanks very much for your help.
