Juicing the Lemons
Roll the fresh lemons on a countertop to soften them. Cut each lemon in half and juice them using a lemon juicer or by hand, ensuring to remove any seeds.
Mixing the Lemonade
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice and granulated sugar. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Adding Water
Pour in 4 cups of cold water into the pitcher with lemon juice and sugar. Stir the mixture well to combine all ingredients.
Taste and Adjust
Taste the lemonade and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar if desired. Add ice cubes for a chilled beverage.
Garnishing (Optional)
Adding Mint and Lemon Slices
For added flavor and presentation, add fresh mint leaves and lemon slices to the pitcher. Stir gently to combine.
