I recently decided to make homemade peppermint syrup that I needed to use in another peppermint recipe (coming tomorrow!).
It was incredibly easy to put together–and it contains no refined sugars! Here’s the recipe:
Homemade Peppermint Syrup {with no refined sugars!}
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 cup sucanat (unrefined sugar–I get mine at our local healthfood store.)
- 1/2 tsp. peppermint extract
Method
Mix water and sugar in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until boiling and sucanat is dissolved. Add peppermint and let simmer a couple more minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Store in a Mason jar.
I haven’t tried it, but I imagine you can make any flavored syrup this way by just changing out the extracts! Maybe I’ll make a vanilla syrup next!
Note: The syrup looks so dark because of the sucanat’s dark color.
Use this syrup to make a yummy homemade peppermint mocha!
Have you ever made your own flavored syrups? What’s your favorite flavored syrup?

Love this! Peppermint latte, homemade peppermint ice cream, peppermint fudge… oh wow, the list goes on and on. Do you know how long it will keep stored?
It’s perfect for my favorite peppermint mochas! It keeps about a month.
I store it in the fridge.
