Okay /ck/ I need your help, I have this unhealthy obsession with drinking coke/pepsi and actively craving it really often.
Not a fatty btw, it just fucks with my skin.
I want to find alternatives that I can make at home so that I can avoid the globohomo drink, do you have any ideas for homemade lemonade recipes?

We have way less sugar in europe plus we don't use corn syrup, that's probably why

Yeah, get a bag of lemons, get a hand-held lemon squeezer, and mix lemon juice with water, then add sugar to taste. What do you need a recipe for?

Everything sounds like shit when you're a reductive fag about it
>coffee is just bean water
>tea is just leaf water
>beer is just fermented grain water
>broth is just bone marrow/meat water
Moreover, lemonade is simple as fuck to make and tastes refreshing, especially when it's hot out. Stop being a massive cunt and let anon enjoy the drink he's using to try to ween himself off of atrocious corn syrup slurries.

Dont drink anything containing sugar and acids outside of meals, you will fuck your teeth up by constantly flushing them with that shit. Drink water. If you cant, then get some self control, you arent a 5 year old. Caffeine and sugar are both things you crave, understand that this is almost like an addiction.

i use this recipe https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/perfect_lemonade/

first you make a sugar syrup
1 cup sugar with 1 cup water(i like to reduce the sugar by 1/4 cup)
boil it till sugar dissolves
juice some lemons till you get 1 cup worth of juice
mix the lemon juice and sugar syrup, then add 2 to 3 cups cold water
then let it chill

I just made this recipe about a week ago. It really is fantastic. I know he says a minimum of 2 hours letting the sugar soak the zest, but just do it overnight. This is definitely THE lemonade recipe.

>i love coke but need to avoid it
You can make a healthier coca cola at home:
1. Zest a lime
2. Crush coriander and lime zest in a mortar + pestle. Add lime juice to the crushed mix.
3. Caramelize honey in a pan
4. Mix it with the rest
5. Add soda water
Mess with the proportions according to taste.

You can also do a virgin Honey Collins:
1oz Lemon or Lime Juice (preference)
.75oz Honey Syrup (2:1 or 3:1 honey to water)
Top with soda in a highball glass. It will taste better if you shake the honey and lemon with ice but you can just stir for the sake of speed. If you want to make it alcoholic, add 1.5oz of a floral gin like Tanqueray or Hendricks Midsummer, or 2oz of vodka if you dislike gin.

Youre not craving a coke, its sugar

Next time you have a coke craving, eat some sweet fruit or drink some tea/coffee with some sugar in it
