Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup lemon juice (from about 10 large lemons, preferably Meyer lemons)
- 1 1/4 cup allulose
- Optional- 3-5 basil, mint or other fresh herb leaves
- Additional monk fruit drops or more allulose to taste (I added 5 drops of liquid monk fruit since I like my simple syrup really sweet!)
Instructions
- Add the lemon juice, allulose and herbs (if using) to a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer.
- Simmer for 20 minutes. Strain out the herbs (if used) and allow to cool before storing it in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
*You can always add more sweetener (either in powdered form or liquid) to suit your tastes. If you find this sugar-free simple syrup too sweet, simply add a little water to the mixture to dilute it*
