High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Sweet Classic Lemonade

There is something deeply satisfying about a glass of lemonade made entirely from scratch, and this one delivers that bright, sunny flavor that no bottled version can match. The secret is a quick homemade simple syrup — just sugar and water stirred together on the stovetop — which means you know exactly what's going into your glass and nothing else. Store-bought lemonades and juice cocktails are notorious for sneaking in corn syrup as a sweetener, so making your own is the cleanest, most straightforward way to enjoy the real thing. Fresh-squeezed lemon juice strained through a fine-mesh sieve gives you pure, vibrant citrus flavor without any bitterness from seeds or pulp. The recipe is wonderfully forgiving, too — you can dial up the sweetness or tartness right before serving to suit your taste. Poured over ice and finished with a lemon slice or a sprig of fresh mint, it looks as good as it tastes.
