The one and only non-whole food thing that I use is a sugar-free sweetener, and I stick with ones made with erythritol and stevia. Although it’s much easier to just buy the stuff, I’ve been experimenting with making my own at home. This sugar-free lavender vanilla syrup infuses recipes like ketogenic pancakes, mug cakes, and iced teas with a bouquet of lavender flowers and comes up to about 1 net carb per teaspoon.
I have also made this Sugar-Free Lavender Simple Syrup recipe with a vanilla bean. It tastes great, but visually, it’s not as pretty as using lavender by itself.

Just wondering if it has to be refrigerated?
Can I use powdered stevia instead?
Very weak could barely taste the lavender flavor when adding to warm milk. Probably needs more lavender buds or longer steep/simmer. I tried for 10 min (instead of 5).

Highly recommend it, first time to try it out and I actually enjoyed it. Not something I would typically make for myself but trying new things out is definitely a good thing. Thanks for this!
