Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Juicing the Lemons

    Roll the fresh lemons on a countertop to loosen the juice. Cut each lemon in half and juice them using a citrus juicer or reamer. Strain the juice to remove seeds and pulp.

  2. 2

    Dissolving the Sugar

    In a large pitcher, add the granulated sugar and 2 cups of warm water. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.

  3. 3

    Mixing the Lemonade

    Pour the freshly squeezed lemon juice into the pitcher with the dissolved sugar. Add the remaining water (14 cups) and stir well to combine.

Serving

  1. 4

    Chilling the Lemonade

    Refrigerate the lemonade for at least 30 minutes to chill. This step can be skipped if using ice cubes.

  2. 5

    Garnishing and Serving

    Serve the lemonade in tall glasses over ice cubes if desired. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for added flavor and presentation.
