Description

This homemade Chick-fil-A-style lemonade is refreshingly sweet and tart, just like the classic you enjoy at the restaurant. With only three simple ingredients, you can easily recreate this delicious, chilled drink at home for any occasion!

Ingredients

1 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice (about 6-8 lemons)
1 cup granulated sugar
5 cups cold water

Ice (optional, for serving)

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Start by juicing the lemons to get 1 cup of fresh lemon juice.
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water with the sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is fully dissolved. This creates a simple syrup.
Once the sugar is dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool.
In a large pitcher, combine the fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and the remaining 4 cups of cold water. Stir well.
Taste and adjust the sweetness by adding more water or sugar syrup if necessary.

Serve the lemonade over ice and enjoy!

Notes

If you prefer a less sweet lemonade, you can reduce the amount of sugar or add more water to balance the tartness.

For a fun twist, you can add a few sprigs of fresh mint or some sliced strawberries to the lemonade for extra flavor.
