Ed Smith Sugar Free Syrup Recipes

SUGAR-FREE KETO SIMPLE SYRUP RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine the water and Besti in a medium saucepan.
• Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently, for 4-5 minutes until dissolved.
• Cool completely before using.

SUGAR-FREE KETO MAPLE SYRUP (3 INGREDIENTS!)

Steps:

• Whisk together the water, Besti, and maple extract in a small saucepan.
• Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweetener dissolves.
• Pour the liquid into a medium bowl. Sprinkle half of the xanthan gum on top (don't dump, just sprinkle lightly and evenly). Whisk immediately, until no lumps remain. Repeat with the remaining xantham gum.
• Wait a few minutes to allow the syrup to thicken further. If it's still thinner than you'd like, add a little more xanthan gum, just a tiny bit (1/16 teaspoon) at a time and immediately whisk again.

SUGAR-FREE SIMPLE SYRUP

Steps:

• Dissolve Splenda in water and allow to cool. Strain through a coffee filter to remove sediment. Use wherever a recipe calls for simple syrup.
• VARIATIONS: You can flavor this syrup for other uses.
• Ginger syrup: Simmer finely minced fresh ginger in syrup for about 40 minutes. Strain and cool.
• Orange (or Lemon) syrup: Add the zest of one orange (or large lemon) and about a tablespoon of juice to 1/2 cup of syrup and simmer for about 40 minutes. Strain and cool.
• Spice syrup: Stick cinnamon (crushed) simmered with a drop of red food coloring gives you a delightful cinnamon syrup. Other sweet spices such as nutmeg, clove, or allspice will also yield interesting flavors.
• Table syrup: Maple flavoring with a bit of real maple syrup isn't bad on waffles. Adding 2 tablespoons to dark (blackstrap) molasses to about 1/2 cup of simple syrup isn't bad either if you like cane syrup on your hotcakes.
• Chocolate syrup: Add cocoa and vanilla to taste. Try this version with some added cinnamon for a Mexican chocolate version.
