Are you ready for this? It's as easy as boil and set aside.
If you can’t completely omit sugar from your diet yet, this is a great way to get your palate used to or adhering to flavors instead. One of the key factors of a plant-based diet is how you notice different senses in food without the substitutes that can be so harmful to your body in the long run.
I struggled with the recipes I had to put together for my book. Am I creating the right time, the right measurements? However, you really can't go wrong with this.
Ingredients
1/2 cup sugar (You're supposed to add 1 part water and 1 part sugar but I like to limit my sugar consumption.)
1 cup water
Bring to a boil.
Set aside and let it cool.
*You can add your favorite herbs while it cools to steep. Add mint, rosemary, fennel, dried roses, etc. Remove after about 5 minutes and you have flavored sugar water.
Add to a flask or bottle and store in the refrigerator.
Voila!
