Recipe for SF Syrups

I would like to make sugarfree syrups (like Torani or Davinci) using Lorann flavoring oils/extracts.

Does anyone have a recipe for amounts etc - would like them carb free if possible (use liquid stevia??)

Thanks in advance!!

Hi,

Lorann pretty much leaves it up to your taste buds...they recommend a "few drops" in most recipes. Here is their recipe site:

More uses for LorAnn Flavoring Oils
· If your recipe calls for orange, lemon or lime zest, use a few drops of flavoring instead.
· If you're making homemade jams and jellies, add a bit of LorAnn Flavoring Oil (Strawberry Flavor for strawberry jam, etc.) for a great flavor boost.
· Try a few drops of Raspberry or Peach Flavoring in your iced tea.
· Add a few drops of Orange Flavoring to your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe.
· Add 1/2 teaspoon of Pineapple Flavoring to any boxed white cake mix. While still warm, top with a glaze made with powdered sugar, milk and a few drops of Pineapple Flavoring for a delicious tropical treat.
· Use a few drops in your recipe for homemade beer. Try pumpkin, apricot, raspberry or your favorite flavor!

Many of their flavorings use propylene glycole as a medium...just another name for glycerine.

For my liquid stevia orange sugar free syrup I used:

1t Homemade Liquid Stevia (= 4c sugar, 0 carbs)
5d(rops) Lorann Orange Oil (0 carbs)
3T Glycerin (0 carbs)
1/8t Salt (0 carbs)
1/2t Xanthan Gum (0 carbs)
25oz Water (0 carbs)

You can vary ingredients depending on the amount/strength/texture/flavor/sweetness you desire for any given use...hope this helps ;-)

Thanks locarbman.....

I saw on the other thread that you used lemon oil in the pepperment paddy, strawberry and pancake syrup but not in the orange syrup you just posted?????

Are you adding some citrus to all syrups for a specific reason????
(I am quite ignorant on this subject LOL)

Thanks for answering my questions - I am VERY new to this WOE but my family and I love it and I have had alot of fun experimenting since we started OWL.

PS -- have ordered my Cuisinart ice cream maker so would like to make these syrups for ice cream (also the girls like them in Italian sodas for a treat).

LOL! ;-) I checked the ingredients of those DaVinci and Torani syrups I have on hand and found they all included some citric acid...thus my inclusion of a bit of lemon extract to achieve the closest possible match. Of course, orange and tangerine oils contain their own citrate (citric acid) and I didn't feel it necessary to add the lemon extract with these flavorings. I used the orange (homemade liquid stevia) syrup in my cranberry/orange jam recipe along with Pomona's Universal Pectin and it worked very well. You'll love the Cuisinart...my peppermint paddy and maple pancake (homemade liquid stevia) syrups worked well in ice cream. I recently received a number of Lorann flavorings that I'm playing with ;-); Eggnog; Butterscotch; Orange; Tangerine; Honey; Cinnamon; Anise; Butter Rum; Clove; Cherry; Lemon; Grape; Maple; Spearmint; Raspberry; Peppermint; and Bavarian Creme...they are all more potent, cheaper than extracts, and can be mixed for even more flavors...have fun experimenting... ;-)

thanks again locarbman.....

keep posting your syrup concoctions and uses.... they are very helpful to us newbies

Have a great new year
