Want to enjoy this cozy Pear Sage Latte without the extra sugar spike? You can easily swap the brown sugar in the Pear Sage Syrup for a low-carb alternative! Choose a brown sugar–style sweetener made with allulose or a monk fruit/erythritol blend — both caramelize beautifully and keep that rich, molasses-like flavor.
👉 Pro tip: Allulose-based sweeteners dissolve more smoothly and won’t recrystallize as the syrup cools, giving you that same silky texture as traditional sugar.
Your syrup will taste just as indulgent — minus the carbs. Perfect for keto-friendly sipping around the fire. 🔥☕
