Juicing the Lemons
Roll the lemons on a counter to soften them, then cut each lemon in half and juice them using a citrus juicer or by hand. Strain the juice to remove seeds and pulp. You should have about 1 cup of lemon juice.

Mixing the Sugar
In a pitcher, combine the granulated sugar with 1 cup of warm water, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. This creates a simple syrup which will sweeten the lemonade.
