Citric Acid Free Maple & Ginger Finishing Syrup

Warm, golden, and fragrant with Ceylon cinnamon, ginger, and a whisper of turmeric, this finishing syrup is the kind of thing you'll want to drizzle over absolutely everything. Pure maple syrup forms the base, which means the sweetness here is clean and natural — no corn syrup, no artificial additives, and no hidden acids lurking in the ingredient list. For anyone navigating a citric acid sensitivity, that last detail matters more than it might seem, since citric acid shows up in a surprising number of flavored syrups and condiments at the grocery store. The optional fresh lemon juice is just that — optional — so you can leave it out entirely and still get a beautifully balanced, complex syrup. A quick simmer on the stovetop coaxes the spices into the maple base, and straining the finished syrup through a fine-mesh sieve gives it a smooth, pourable texture that looks as good as it tastes. Store it in a glass jar and you've got a versatile finishing touch ready to go for pancakes, oatmeal, roasted vegetables, or even a warm drink.
