Notes
This recipe is so easy to make and uses only a few simple ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry.
To start, you’ll need to combine water and your choice of granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener in a small saucepan. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sweetener is completely dissolved. This should only take a few minutes, so be sure to keep an eye on it.
Once the sweetener is dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in a teaspoon of vanilla extract, if you’d like. This is optional, but it adds a lovely flavor to the syrup. Let the mixture cool to room temperature before using.
When the syrup has cooled, transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. This syrup is perfect for adding to your morning coffee, tea, or even cocktails. You can also use it to sweeten your favorite desserts, like cakes, cookies, and ice cream.
What I love about this recipe is that it’s keto-friendly, which means it’s low in carbs and won’t spike your blood sugar levels. It’s a great alternative to traditional simple syrup, which is usually made with sugar.
So, there you have it, a simple and delicious keto-friendly simple syrup recipe that’s perfect for adding a touch of sweetness to your favorite beverages and desserts. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
