    How To Make Homemade Lemonade | Copycat Chick Fil'A Recipe!

    Copycat Chick Fil A Lemonade recipe

    There are very few things that are more refreshing in the summer than a cold glass of lemonade and it also happens to be one of my daughter's favorite drinks! My husband doesn't mind the powdered lemonade mixes, but ever since I started juicing, I much prefer to to make it from scratch! I would also prefer it if I could get my husband or children to drink my spinach lemonade recipe...but we don't always get everything we want.

    I will admit that making homemade lemonade is a little more expensive than using the powder mixes, but the taste is worth it....and it is still cheaper than the fresh squeezed lemonades that you buy at amusement parks and fairs (we just at a fair this weekend - $5 for a 24 oz lemonade is just ridiculous!).

    Homemade Lemonade Recipe Copycat Chick Fil A process

    Chick Fil'A makes the best lemonade and this lemonade recipe is about as close as you are going to get to being a copycat of the version that you get at Chick Fil A. Although, on second thought, this homemade lemonade recipe is the same one that I was making with my mom when I was 10 years old!

    If you feel like you really want some more copycat Chick Fil'A recipes (or any of the other copycat recipes that I have shared), be sure to pair this with my copycat Chick Fil'A Chicken Sandwich recipe or my copycat Chick Fil'A Chicken Nuggets recipe!

    Ingredients 

    • 1 ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice about 8 - 10 large lemons
    • 1 cup sugar if making diet lemonade, use 1 cup granulated sugar substitute; If using sugar substitute packets, check the manufacturers website for the ratio
    • 5 cups water

    Instructions

    • In a half-gallon pitcher, whisk the sugar with 2 cups warm water until completely dissolved
    • Add remaining water and the lemon juice and stir to combine.
    • Chill for at least an hour.
    • Serve over ice

    Notes

    if making diet lemonade, use 1 cup granulated sugar substitute
    If using sugar substitute packets instead of granulated sugar substitute, check the manufacturers website for the ratio of packets to cup - they are all a little different

      Thanks for reminding me how simple making lemonade really is.............
      I remember when my Grandmothers used to cut slices of lemon and then put them
      in a bowl and smush the lemon juice out with a coke bottle...........lol
      It was yummy I must say,...........Think I will be making some soon, as hubby and
      I have been buying Simply lemonade, which is amazing too, but quite pricey and
      probably has way more sugar than need be. It will give me something to use my
      cute lil pottery juicer on too...........lol

      Hope your Mother's Day is Wonderful
      Blessings, Nellie
