Bright, tangy, and endlessly refreshing, this homemade limeade is the kind of drink that makes a hot afternoon feel instantly better. It's built from just a handful of simple ingredients ā fresh lime juice, sugar, and water ā which is exactly what makes it such a clean, worry-free choice for anyone following a low FODMAP approach. No fruit juice blends, no hidden additives, no store-bought syrups with mystery ingredients that could trigger symptoms. You squeeze the limes yourself, strain out the pulp and seeds, and stir everything together in a pitcher ā it really is that straightforward. The homemade simple syrup dissolves smoothly into the juice, giving you a perfectly balanced sweet-tart flavor that you can dial up or down with a splash more water. Poured over ice with a few lime slices on the rim, it looks and tastes like something you'd order at a nice restaurant, but it comes together right in your own kitchen.
