Print Recipe
Cook Time:5 minutes
Resting:15 minutes
Total Time:20 minutes

Equipment

  • Small saucepan
  • whisker or blender

Ingredients

  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup xylitol around 100 gr.
  • ⅛ teaspoon xanthan gum optional but strongly recommended

Instructions

  • Put xylitol in a small saucepan, add the water carefully and simmer.
  • When the xylitol has dissolved completely, take off the heat.
    Pour the syrup into a blender glass or a blend resistant container.
    Let the syrup cool down a little before adding the xanthan gum (this is to prevent clumping).
  • Add the xantan gum and blend until the xantan is evenly distributed (I use the accessories to whip cream with a hand mixer).
    The syrup will likely get a cloudy look but without noticeable chunks of xantan gum.

  • Put in a clean, airtight container and let it rest for 24 hours at room temperature. After that, store it in the fridge and use within a month.

Notes

  • A word of caution - Xylitol is toxic for dogs
  • What to replace xylitol with - it looks like you may replace the xylitol in this recipe 1:1 for allulose
