Q.: I am a diabetic, thus no sugar. Is there any way to make a simple syrup (such as you might use for lemonade) from an artificial sweetener such as Equal or any other brand?
— S.S., Stow
A.: While all artificial sweeteners can be used to sweeten water, not all work well when attempting to turn them into a simple syrup, the basis for many summer drinks and cocktails.
The makers of Equal do not recommend using their product for a simple syrup, because heating it could eliminate its sweetness.
Splenda, however, can be used to make a simple syrup, although not a traditional one using boiling water.
A spokeswoman for McNeil Nutritionals, which makes Splenda, said to try mixing two cups of Splenda, granulated, with one cup of warm water, or one cup of Splenda with one cup of warm water, depending on how sweet you want the syrup. Stir to dissolve.
Store the syrup in the refrigerator and use within one to two weeks.
