1
Juicing the Lemons
Cut the lemons in half and juice them using a citrus juicer or by hand. Strain the juice to remove seeds and pulp.

Mixing the Sugar
In a pitcher, combine the lemon juice and sugar. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved.
3
Adding Water
Pour in the 4 cups of cold water and stir until fully mixed. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more sugar.

Chilling and Serving
Add ice cubes to the pitcher or individual glasses. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve chilled.
