Notes
Choose a sweetener that's suitable for you. Monk fruit sweetener, allulose, or erythritol are all good choices with zero net carbs and zero calories.
For flavored syrup, add in a couple of cinnamon sticks or a splash of vanilla extract while the syrup is still warm and allow the flavors to infuse as it cools.
If you prefer a thicker syrup, you can add a bit more xanthan gum or guar gum. Just remember to add in small amounts to avoid a gloopy texture.
