Simple syrups
are no more than water and xylitol cooked down and flavor added to them.
2 cups of water
1/2 cup xylitol
Cook down until thick over medium heat .Add flavoring(peppermint,lemon ,banana,etc.)
The snowcone flavorings are great for snowcones and flavoring cream cheese frosting.The flavors are wild! Banana,watermelon,cherry,grape,etc.
I also use them in cake mix to flavor cake batter .
When you use them though cut way back on your xylitol because they are wicked sweet!You can use them instead of extracts.
