By Fitness and Freebies
Quite simple to whip up using just maple extract, water, sweetener, Splenda and guar gum, a thickening agent.
Recipe Ingredients
1 tablespoon maple extract
2 cups water
24 packets sweetener (such as Sweet 'n Low)
24 packets Splenda
1/2 teaspoon guar gum (thickening agent, found in health food stores)
Recipe Directions

Remove from heat and stir in guar gum to thicken. Cool and store in refrigerator.
Note: Guar gum clumps easily. Stir in 1/8-teaspoon at a time and whisk very well after each addition to avoid clumping.
