This Keto Rose Syrup is great for creating low-carb, keto-friendly treats to support your low-carb lifestyle. It consists of low-carb sweetener, rose water, and a natural ingredient for its fushia hue. Use this rose syrup to top yogurt or ice cream, or blend it into milkshakes and cocktails for a fragrant, floral flavour.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rose Water
- ½ cup Water
- ¾ cup Low Carb Sugar Monk fruit, Erythritol, Allulose
- ¼ tsp Xanthan Gum
- ⅛ tsp Salt pinch
- ¼ cup grated beetroot about a quarter size of a medium beetroot
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, bring the rose water, sweetener, and salt to a boil until the sweetener is dissolved. Then, reduce the heat to medium, add the grated beetroot, and let it simmer for about 3-4 minutes. You’ll notice the rose water change to a deep, rosy colour almost immediately.
- Next, strain the rose syrup into a glass jug or heat-proof container and discard the grated beetroot. While the rose mixture is hot, gradually sprinkle in xanthan gum and whisk until the mixture thickens into a syrup.
- Set aside your keto rose syrup to cool and thicken a bit more. After it has cooled completely, transfer it into a jar or container with a lid for storage.
Notes
Quick Tips
• If you’d like your syrup to be much thicker, simply pour it back into the saucepan after straining it. Then, whisk in the xanthan gum gradually and heat it over medium heat. Let it boil until it reduces to your desired consistency.
• To prevent beetroot stains, grate the beetroot in the sink or wear gloves and aprons to avoid staining your hands and clothes.
• To skip the extra step of straining, let the grated beetroot soak in 1/2 cup of water. Then, strain it and add the infused water to the saucepan along with the sweetener and salt from the beginning.
• Gradually add xanthan gum in small quantities and mix vigorously until it thickens.
• Pour the rose syrup into a Mason jar or bottle, let it cool completely, and then store it in the fridge. Remember to give it a good stir before each use.
