1
Juicing the Lemons
Cut the lemons in half and use a juicer or your hands to extract the juice into a measuring cup. You should have about 1 cup of lemon juice.
2
Mixing the Ingredients
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1 cup of sugar, and 4 cups of water. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved.

3
Adding Mint
Add the mint leaves to the pitcher and gently stir. Let the mixture sit for about 5-10 minutes to allow the mint flavor to infuse.
4
Chilling the Lemonade
If desired, add ice cubes to the pitcher or individual glasses for a refreshing cold drink. Optionally, add lemon slices for garnish.
5
Enjoy!
Serve the lemonade in glasses and enjoy your refreshing drink!
