  1. 1

    Juicing the Lemons

    Roll the lemons on a countertop with your palm to soften them. Cut each lemon in half and use a citrus juicer or reamer to extract the juice into a measuring cup. Make sure to remove any seeds.

  2. 2

    Mixing the Ingredients

    In a large pitcher, combine the fresh lemon juice, granulated sugar, and 4 cups of cold water. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.

  3. 3

    Adjusting Sweetness

    Taste the lemonade and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if desired. Stir again to mix thoroughly.

  4. 4

    Chilling

    Add ice cubes to the pitcher or serve in individual glasses filled with ice. For added flavor, garnish with fresh mint leaves.
