Xanthan Gum Free Classic Lemonade

Bright, tangy, and endlessly refreshing, this from-scratch lemonade is the kind of drink that makes a hot afternoon feel like a celebration. It starts with a quick homemade simple syrup that dissolves cleanly into fresh-squeezed lemon juice, giving you a perfectly balanced glass every time. Because it's built entirely from sugar, water, and real lemons, there's nothing to scrutinize on a label — no thickeners, no stabilizers, no additives of any kind. That matters more than you'd think, since xanthan gum quietly shows up in a surprising number of packaged beverages and drink mixes. Straining the lemon juice through a fine-mesh sieve keeps the texture smooth and clean without needing any gums or binders to do the work. You can easily dial the sweetness up or down by adjusting the syrup, making it totally your own. Serve it over ice with a few lemon slices and fresh mint for a glass that looks as good as it tastes.
