Low Fiber Simple Syrup
Sweet, smooth, and endlessly useful, this two-ingredient syrup is a pantry staple that dissolves instantly into drinks, drizzles beautifully over soft foods, and adds gentle sweetness without any roughage or fibrous bits to worry about. When you're navigating a low-residue approach, even small additions to your diet need to be clean and easy on the digestive system — and it doesn't get simpler than sugar and water. The key here is keeping the heat moderate and pulling the pan before the mixture boils, which keeps the syrup clear and light rather than thick or caramelized. Once cooled and bottled, it keeps in the fridge and is ready to sweeten tea, lemonade, oatmeal, or a soft dessert at a moment's notice. It's the kind of recipe you make once and wonder how you ever got along without it.
