Just a brief post today because I just HAD to tell you something… agave syrup, holy hell man, it’s friggin’ delicious! I wish I’d bought some before now. I’ve read about it a lot over the past couple of years. Particularly when I was doing a raw food diet (ugh… after four days of that shit, I’d had ENOUGH), agave syrup was a common addition to many ‘sweet’ dishes instead of sugar. But I never bought any – until now. And OMG it’s like heaven on a spoon (if you eat it from a spoon). Do you like caramel? Well, get down to your local health shop and get yourself some agave syrup. It’s totally scrumptious yumminess!
I’ve been having it in my coffee and it’s so much more delicious than sugar (which is totally evil, by the way) or honey. I can’t get enough of this stuff. It’s just so weird that it comes from a cactus plant. Bizarre. Oh I just looked it up and found out that it’s made from the same plant that tequila is made from. Cool!
Hubby sometimes makes really yummy meringues, occasionally swapping the sugar (he always uses the brown variety) for honey, but I reckon agave syrup would be even more delicious, adding that unusual caramel flavour. Must try that!
Have you tried agave syrup before? Do you love it? Hate it? Have you tried it in any recipes yet? I’d love to know how it’s turned out.
