Method
Preparation
Juicing the Lemons
Cut the fresh lemons in half and use a citrus juicer or reamer to extract the juice. You should aim to collect about 1 cup of lemon juice.
Dissolving the Sugar
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar with 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved, creating a simple syrup.
Mixing the Lemonade
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, the simple syrup, and the remaining 3 cups of water. Stir well to combine.
Chill and Serve
Add ice cubes to the pitcher or serve lemonade over ice in individual glasses. Optionally garnish with lemon slices and mint leaves.
