Method
Preparation
- 1
Juicing the Lemons
Roll the fresh lemons on a countertop to soften them. Cut each lemon in half and use a citrus juicer or reamer to extract the juice into a measuring cup. Remove any seeds that may have fallen into the juice.
- 2
Dissolving Sugar
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar with 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar completely dissolves. This will create a simple syrup.

Mixing the Lemonade
In a pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, simple syrup, and the remaining 3 cups of cold water. Stir well to combine. Taste and adjust sweetness with additional sugar or water if desired.
