Method
Preparation
Juicing the Lemons
Roll the lemons on a countertop to soften them. Cut each lemon in half and use a citrus juicer to extract the juice. You should have about 1 cup of lemon juice.
Making the Sugar Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let cool.
Combining Ingredients
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, cooled sugar syrup, and the remaining 3 cups of water. Stir well to mix.
Garnishing
If desired, add fresh mint leaves and lemon slices to the pitcher for garnish. This adds a refreshing touch to your lemonade.
Serving
Chilling
Refrigerate the lemonade for at least 30 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors.
Serving the Lemonade
Serve the lemonade over ice in tall glasses. Optionally, garnish with additional mint leaves or lemon slices.
