Peppermint Candy or Candy Canes Instructions:
To a small saucepan add water, sugar (or allulose sweetener), and peppermint candy or candy canes.
Over medium heat allow the sugar to dissolve while bringing the mixture to a boil.
Once it begins to boil, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir the mixture continually or it will stick to the pan.
Remove syrup from the heat and strain immediately to remove any large bits (discard leftover candy).
Store in an airtight bottle, jar, or container. Refrigerate.
Peppermint Extract Instructions:

Over medium heat allow the sugar to dissolve while bringing the mixture to a boil.
Once it begins to boil, remove syrup from the heat and stir in the pure or imitation peppermint extract.
Store in an airtight bottle, jar, or container. Refrigerate.
