Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Juicing the Lemons

    Cut the fresh lemons in half and use a citrus juicer or reamer to extract the juice. You should aim for about 1 cup of lemon juice.

  2. 2

    Dissolving the Sugar

    In a pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice and granulated sugar. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.

  3. 3

    Mixing with Water

    Add 4 cups of cold water to the pitcher and stir until all ingredients are well mixed. Taste the lemonade; if it’s too tart, add more sugar or water to reach desired sweetness.

  4. 4

    Chilling

    Add ice cubes to the pitcher or serve the lemonade over ice in individual glasses.

  5. 5

    Garnishing

    Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves for added flavor and presentation.
