Peppermint Syrup

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup granulated sugar or 1-1/3 cup allulose
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract more or less to taste

Instructions

  • Add the water and sugar to a small saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
  • Boil for 1 minute and stir to be sure all the sugar has dissolved.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the peppermint extract. See notes.

Notes

Peppermint Extract: Some brands are stronger than others. If you like less mint, use a 1/2 teaspoon. If you’d like more, we recommend starting with 1 teaspoon, tasting, and adding more as you’d like.
Sugar Free Peppermint Syrup: To make this sugar free, you’ll want to replace the sugar with a sweetener that melts nicely without crystallizing upon cooling. We prefer allulose for this. Allulose is 70% as sweet as sugar, so you’ll want to use 1 1/3 cups of allulose for this recipe.
Flavoring: This recipe is a great base for simple syrup. Add any flavoring extracts you like to make a variety of coffee syrups.

How to Make Rich Cinnamon Syrup
Instead of using 1 cup (200g) of granulated sugar or 1.5 cups (300g) of allulose sweetener, you will want to use half the amount (1/2 cup/ 100g sugar or 3/4 cups/ 150g stevia).
