Notes
For a sugar-free syrup, use a dissolvable sweetener such as stevia, monk fruit or a similar zero-calorie substitute.
Honey, agave and maple syrup are natural liquid sweeteners but are still forms of sugar. They are alternatives to white sugar, though they are not sugar-free. Agave and maple syrup mix easily into a drink, but honey is too thick. You can make a honey syrup that works better by mixing 1 cup honey and 1 cup warm water.
Always consult your doctor or dietitian to determine what sweeteners are appropriate for you.
