Description

Dates syrup made with just 2 ingredients- dates and water. Although this alternative sweetener is not necessarily low in calories it is a natural sugar that has the added benefits of being less processed than white sugar. Beyond that, it is certainly a healthier option than granulated sugar which has little nutritional value.
Essentially date syrup is made by heating dates in water, blending the dates, pressing the mixture through a filter to strain out pits and insoluble parts of the date, and then evaporating the water that was put in, and back out.
