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.
