This low-FODMAP Simple Syrup may be the easiest recipe you ever make, but will likely become a staple in your fridge.
Low-FODMAP Simple Syrup is a versatile condiment which can be infused with herbs (such as mint, rosemary), citrus peel (try orange, lime, lemon) or vanilla beans. Or you can add a drop of your favorite flavored extracts.
Low-FODMAP Simple Syrup can be mixed in cocktails, used to sweeten coffee, iced tea or lemonade, drizzled over fruits and desserts, or (my favorite use) for moistening and flavoring your Low-FODMAP Cake Layers.
Baker’s secret: A drizzle of low-FODMAP Simple Syrup over each cake layer before frosting keeps the cake moist and infuses a little extra flavor.
You may love this low-FODMAP Simple Syrup in my low-FODMAP Gin Fizz recipe (in place of the coriander syrup), or use it over a low-FODMAP Chocolate Layer Cake. You can also check out my low-FODMAP Christmas and Holiday menu or over 300 more low-FODMAP Recipes on the blog. IBS-friendly!
