Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 1 cup Water
- 1 cup Erythritol
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Start by washing the fresh basil leaves thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of erythritol. Place the saucepan over medium heat.
Step 3
Stir the mixture continuously until the erythritol has completely dissolved in the water.
Step 4
Once the erythritol is dissolved, add the cup of fresh basil leaves to the saucepan.
Step 5
Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture steep for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse fully.
Step 7
Add 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the saucepan and stir well.
Step 8
Strain the basil syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl or jar to remove the basil leaves and any impurities.
Step 9
Let the syrup cool to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer the keto basil syrup to an airtight container or glass bottle.
Step 10
Store the syrup in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Shake well before using it in your favorite drinks or desserts.
