DaVinci syrup - carbs?

[Zarabelle]

Hi Guys

I have been counting 1 carb per dash of davinci syrup (caramel). Is that right? I can't find the nutritional info.

Re: DaVinci syrup - carbs?

Because DaVinci's syrups are made with liquid Splenda, there are no carbs because they have no maltodextrin or dextrose for carriers or bulking agents. You only have to count a serving (more than a splash) as one of your daily sweeteners allowance.

Here's a recipe that I found on the board in case you want to make your own.

Flavored Syrup (like DaVinci)

1 cup syrup:
1 cup water
1/2 tbsp extract
1 tbsp liquid splenda, or 24 pkts (you can get liquid splenda from ebay)
1/2 tsp guar gum

or

1/2 cup syrup:
1/2 cup water
3/4 tsp extract
1 1/2 tsp liquid splenda, or 12 pkts
1/4 tsp guar gum

or

1/4 cup syrup:
1/4 cup water
1/2 tsp extract
3/4 tsp liquid splenda, or 6 pkts
1/8 tsp guar gum

Boil water with extract and sweetener. Remove from heat and add guar gum, 1/4 tsp at a time and stir WELL. This will thicken upon cooling.

Carb counts: with liquid splenda = 0. Each pkt of splenda is .5 carbs.

1 tablespoon liquid Splenda??? Yikes! 1/4 teaspoon of liquid Splenda is equal to 1 cup of sugar. A full tablespoon of liquid Splenda would be egual to 12 cups of sugar!!! In one cup of water?

24 packets of Splenda is equal to 1 cup of sugar, which is more like it.

Oh that is good news! I make a caramel cappuccino with dash caramel, 1 T heavy cream and a cup of coffee and have previously been counting 3 carbs per drink (1 for each ingredient). Fab. Thanks.

Thanks for the recipes Sherri!

Yep, you're right Sunny.
It's not my recipe. I was just passing it on trying to help. I don't use liquid splenda. Heck, I don't use that poison at all.

I think I'm gonna try this with erythritol. I do like some syrup in my coffee.
