Homemade sauce can be healthier with no preservatives.

Boil 2 cups of water in a pot.

Add 3 family size tea bags to the boiling water.

Set a timer for 5 minutes to steep the tea bags.

After 5 minutes, remove the tea bags without squeezing them.

Add 1/8 teaspoon of baking soda to the tea and stir.

Add 1.5 cups of white sugar to the hot tea and stir until dissolved.

If the water cooled too much, place it on a warm burner to help dissolve the sugar.

In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, 1/4 cup of honey, 2 tablespoons of yellow mustard, 1/4 cup of barbecue sauce, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.

Stir the ingredients together until well mixed.

Let the Chick-fil-A sauce sit for 30 minutes to an hour to let the flavors meld together.
