Method
Making the Lemonade
Juicing the Lemons
Roll the lemons on a cutting board to soften them. Cut the lemons in half and use a citrus juicer or your hands to extract the juice into a measuring cup. Strain out any seeds.
Mixing the Ingredients
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, granulated sugar, and 4 cups of water. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Adjusting the Flavor
Taste the lemonade and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if desired, or more water if it is too strong.
Chilling the Lemonade
For a refreshing drink, chill the lemonade in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Serving the Lemonade
Serve the lemonade over ice cubes in glasses. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for extra flavor and presentation.
