Preparation

  1. 1

    Juicing the Lemons

    Roll the fresh lemons on a countertop to soften them. Cut the lemons in half and juice them using a citrus juicer or reamer. You should yield about 1 cup of lemon juice.

  2. 2

    Mixing Sugar and Lemon Juice

    In a pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice and the granulated sugar. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.

  3. 3

    Adding Water

    Pour in the cold water into the pitcher with the lemon juice and sugar mixture. Stir thoroughly until everything is well combined.

  4. 4

    Chilling

    For best results, chill the lemonade in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Serving

  1. 5

    Adding Ice and Mint

    When ready to serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled lemonade over the ice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
