GERD Friendly Simple Syrup
Sweet without the burn — that's the whole idea here. This two-ingredient syrup comes together in minutes on the stovetop, dissolving gently over medium heat without ever reaching a boil, which keeps it smooth and easy on a sensitive stomach. For anyone managing reflux, having a reliable sweetener on hand means you can flavor drinks, teas, or light desserts without reaching for acidic or carbonated mixers that tend to trigger symptoms. Because it's made from just granulated sugar and water, there are no citrus additives, artificial sweeteners, or mystery ingredients to worry about. Once cooled and sealed in a jar, it keeps in the fridge and is ready whenever you need a gentle touch of sweetness.
