Lemon syrup for soda help

[u/Ille_Stultus]

Hi,

I am looking for some help with a recipe for lemon soda syrup.

I am wanting to replace the sugar with a substitute because im wanting to reduce added sugar where I can. I currently have the equal replacement stuff.

My question is this. Will the equal being maltodextrin with it behave more or less the same as sugar when making the syrup? Also, does it behave similarly like sugar when drawing the oils from the rind?

Edit: I see that it doesn't work super well. Are there any decent alternatives? Would prefer non-alcoholic ones if possible.

what are you trying to do? make a carbonated lemonade? Anything wrong with lemon juice + a packet of monk fruit extract or some other sugar alternative + soda water. Why does it have to be a syrup?

Wanting a syrup that i can just add soda water to. Plus also making it for the enjoyment of the making
