Step 1

Place ½ cup of the warm water in a small bowl and add the xanthan gum to it. Whisk quickly and continuously until thickened and well blended.

Step 2

Add the rest of the water and the sugar substitute to a saucepan over medium heat on the stove. Once hot, whisk in the xanthan gum mixture until completely blended and smooth. Allow the syrup to thicken to your liking.

Step 3

Remove the syrup mixture from the heat and stir in the maple and vanilla extracts. Let cool and serve or store in an airtight container in the fridge.
