MAKE YOUR OWN SUGAR FREE SYRUPS
SUGAR FREE CINNAMON SYRUP
-In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups of water, 2 cups of splenda (or favorite alternative sweetener), 3 cinnamon sticks broken in half and simmer for 3 minutes. Take off burner, cover, and let stand for about 3-4 hours, bottle and refrigerate for up to a month.
You can make other flavors also such as: BROWN SUGAR CINNAMON substituting splenda brown sugar instead of white sugar....great spicy flavor!, CINNAMON AND CLOVES adding about 8 whole cloves to saucepan along with the sugar and cinnamon sticks, ALLSPICE AND NUTMEG adding one whole nutmeg and 8 allspice berries to saucepan with sugar omitting cinnamon sticks or leaving them in depending on your love of cinnamon (I love cinnamon so I leave them in), ANISE FLAVORED SYRUP adding about 4 anise berries to the sugar in saucepan and omitting cinnamon sticks, this syrup has a licorice flavor to it.
I add these syrups to coffee or hot chocolate or even as a substitute for water when baking for added flavor!
