Servings: 12 (1-tbsp) servings
Calories: 1kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup powdered erythritol or allulose
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
Instructions
- Combine the water and sweetener in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sweetener dissolves completely.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and maintain a simmer for 10 minutes while the liquid thickens.
- Once you see the volume reducing, add the xanthan gum, and whisk vigorously to dissolve. The syrup will thicken and should be smooth. Whisk out any remaining clumps.
- Remove from the heat and let cool for 15 minutes before transferring to a clean glass jar or recycled syrup bottle. It will continue to thicken slightly as it cools.
Notes
Add sugar-free flavor boosters to your keto simple syrup (see Expert Tips for recommendations).
Serve: Add sugar free simple syrup to a coffee, tea, mocktail, or cocktails. Drizzle it over pancakes, waffles, or pudding for a touch of sweetness, or mix it into yogurt, smoothies, and even salad dressings that call for a hint of sweet.
Store: Store sugar-free simple syrup in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 day, then transfer to the refrigerator for up to 1 month. To freeze, allow the syrup to cool completely, then transfer to freezer-safe containers and seal tightly. After freezing, pop them out and transfer them to a freezer bag. You can thaw overnight at room temperature or gently reheat in a small saucepan.
