Servings: 1 cup
Calories: 2.94kcal
Ingredients
- ½ Cup water
- ½ Cup allulose sweetener
- ⅛ Cup dried lavender food-grade
Instructions
- Heat the water in a metal-bottom pan until just simmering. Then pour in your allulose (or cane sugar) & lavender, and stir everything together until the sweetener has dissolved.
- Heat the lavender mixture on low for ten minutes (set a timer), never letting it get above a simmer, stirring occasionally. When your timer goes off, remove the mixture from the heat and let it sit on a cool burner for ten more minutes (to infuse further).
- Then strain the mixture and preserve your keto lavender syrup in a closed container in the fridge for up to 10 days. You now also have some lightly candied lavender, but other than decoration, there's not much you can do with this.
Notes
Swapping Sweeteners: You can use this method and this ratio with a number of other granulated sweeteners to make lavender simple syrup, but it won't work with powdered sugar or stevia due to the consistency. Some other sweeteners you could try it with are brown sugar, liquid stevia, coconut sugar, date sugar, panela, and jaggery.
Corn Allergies: If you have any issues with corn, make sure to buy allulose from a company which specifically doesn't source their allulose from corn, as much allulose is manufactured from corn. However it's also found in small amounts in figs, raisins, wheat, maple syrup and molasses.
At roughly five times the price of white sugar, allulose can be a hard sell. But for those who choose to splurge for it, allulose has none of the inflammatory effects, doesn't cause tooth decay, has no calories, and has no effect on insulin.
