Roll the fresh lemons on a countertop with the palm of your hand to soften them. Cut each lemon in half and use a citrus juicer or your hands to extract the juice into a measuring cup. Strain the juice to remove seeds and pulp.

Juicing the Lemons

In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar with 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar completely dissolves. Remove from heat and let the syrup cool.

Mixing the Sugar

In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, the cooled sugar syrup, and 3 cups of cold water. Stir well until all ingredients are fully mixed.

Combining Ingredients

Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the lemonade mixture over the ice. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint leaves if desired.
