Ingredients
- 1 cup Swerve brown sugar substitute
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 2 cups warm water (divided)
- 1 ½ tablespoons maple extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare xanthan gum mixture: Place ½ cup of the warm water in a small bowl and add the xanthan gum to it. Whisk quickly and continuously until the mixture thickens and becomes well blended, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Heat sugar substitute with water: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the remaining 1 ½ cups of warm water and the Swerve brown sugar substitute. Heat until the mixture becomes hot but not boiling.
- Combine mixtures: Whisk the xanthan gum mixture into the hot sugar substitute mixture in the saucepan, stirring continuously until the syrup is completely blended and smooth. Continue heating until it thickens to your desired syrupy consistency.
- Add flavor extracts: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the maple extract and vanilla extract thoroughly to infuse the syrup with rich flavor.
- Cool and store: Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Notes
- Whisk the xanthan gum quickly to avoid clumping and ensure a smooth syrup.
- Adjust the thickness by simmering longer or shorter depending on your preference.
- Store in the fridge and reheat gently before use if the syrup thickens too much after cooling.
- This syrup is perfect for low-carb and ketogenic diets.
