Prepare your herbed ice cubes ahead of time if you want by cutting up herbs of choice and then freezing them into an ice cube mold. Let them freeze for 4-6 hours. This is optional, you could use regular ice.

To make your simple syrup, combine your herbs, water and allulose in a pan. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes. Strain away the herbs and discard. Store the simple syrup in the fridge to cool until you're ready to use it.
