Juice the Lemons
Roll the lemons on a countertop to soften them. Cut the lemons in half and use a juicer to extract the juice. Strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds and pulp.

Dissolve Sugar
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar with 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool.
