Homemade sugar free syrups

[markdejong]

Has anyone made their own sugar free syrups? I'm having a hard time finding them and if the recipe I have works this will be quite a bit cheaper.
Here's the basic recipe, with variations for different flavours:

1 cup water
1/2 tbsp extract (vanilla, maple, etc.)
1 tbsp liquid splenda, or 24 pkts
1/2 tsp guar gum

Does anyone know if this will work?
Thanks!
(and sorry if this is in the wrong place. It's my first time.)

I'm not sure about the proportions, not having made my own syrup, but I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work. The one thing is that if it's made with Splenda packets instead of liquid, it will have a carb content because of the filler.

As for having trouble finding ready-made syrups, if you're in the US you can order from www.davincigourmet.com or www.moninstore.com, or you can go to www.torani.com for a list of online sources for their s/f syrups.
