Notes
Cooking Tips – There is no need to boil the syrup beyond coming up to a simmer. Using monk fruit sweetener reduces the sugar in this recipe. If simmered for too long the syrup will become hardened and very crystallized during storage. If this happens, there is nothing wrong with the syrup, you will just not be able to pour it into your drink. Instead, you will have to scoop it out with a spoon, but it will dissolve as it heats!Calories are calculated for ½ cup brown sugar and ½ cup golden monk fruit sweetener.
