1
Juicing the Lemons
Roll the fresh lemons on a clean surface to soften them. Cut each lemon in half and use a juicer or your hands to extract the juice into a measuring cup. Remove any seeds that may have fallen in.
2
Mixing the Sugar
In a medium-sized pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice with the granulated sugar. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
3
Adding Water
Pour the 4 cups of water into the pitcher with the lemon juice and sugar mixture. Stir thoroughly to combine all the ingredients. Taste the lemonade and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar or water if desired.

4
Preparing Garnishes
Slice the lemon into thin rounds for garnishing. If using, wash the fresh mint leaves and set aside.
5
Serving the Lemonade
Pour the lemonade into glasses filled with ice. Garnish each glass with a slice of lemon and a few mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing lemonade!
